We start this clip with the choristers of St George's Chapel, Windsor, who give an insight into their daily routine before they sing; "Jubilate Deo" a number especially commissioned for the choir by HRH Prince Philip. Aled now catches up with the boys from Libera, and they discuss the difference in their attire, from Aled's days as a chorister where he was expected to wear a ruff, cassock and surplus to Libera who wear white hooded robes like monks, we also learn that monks used to wear pink socks!.. We hear from some of the members of Libera, one of the boy's parents and from Eleanor, a singing coach who teaches the new recruits who are affectionately known as the "mini boys". Libera now sing "Tallis's Cannon" with soloists Ed Day and Tom Cully.
This is produced solely to promote Aled and his music.
(1) These children need training in the use of conjunctions !
(2) The word, 'Gosh' is a form of cryptic blasphemy !
Thus. Ignorance surrounds power !
