Religious thoughts and music. The Lark Ascending has recently been voted the most popular piece of classical music of all time. Aled Jones tells the story of its composer, Ralph Vaughan Williams, who also wrote memorable tunes for classic hymns such as Come Down, O Love Divine and For All the Saints. John Rutter and Brian Kay help explore the influence of the English countryside and British folk on Williams's work.
