Have a great one tomorrow. Here's a radio broadcast from Christmas night last year, featuring the BBC Singers and BBC Concert Orchestra. First, the collaboration Hymn, originally a spoken-word release by writer Alan Bennett with string quartet backing composed by George Fenton, is re-arranged for choir, with Bennett reading about half of the original-length narrative on his formative musical experiences. It's not a Christmas-focused story as such, but it is a moving insight into mid-20th century Britain. The other work is an old Christmas classic, adapating Dickens for orchestra with narration read here by Stephen Fry. The music was composed by Richard Allain.

And to you Alan, Merry Christmas and the happiest of New Years.
