BBC's The Choir (1995) Panis Angelicus sung by Anthony Way (Henry Ashworth) & The Final Theme

[@chrisburn7178]

I remember this fondly as a kid, as I was just beginning as a chorister at Ely Cathedral when this first aired. I still remember this scene, although back then I didn't notice that the organist was miraculously playing with no stops drawn!

hasn't aged a single bit - brilliant

[@tillydog]

In 1986 myself and some of my fellow choristers went to Edinburgh on a week long RSCM summer course, and as we got closer to the Scottish border, we gave our fellow passengers a very impromptu show!! We'd been talking about our fave choral pieces that we sang, and Panis Angelicus was one of the clear winners amongst us, so we just launched into it!!

@tillydog What a wonderful time you must have had. A great memory to always cherish. Thanks for sharing.

I remember seeing this on Masterpiece Theatre back in 1995, and thought at the time this young man had the voice of an Angel! And I'm an atheist ;-) Today for the first time since then, I've heard this again and it still moves me as much as it it then. Thanks for posting!

I have the music CD. Wish I had the dvd of the series.

[@MozartKCfan]

@@2Sugarbears As a German I have the DVD since a lot of years - synchronized...:) Not available any more ? Amazon ?

[@siobhan28483]

I use to love watching this when I was 12. I had a crush on Anthony Way. I thought he was gorgeous lol.

[@LoreneFaith]

I also first saw this on PBS several years ago. The music is heavenly isn't it. That is if there is a heaven and it does make you feel close to God, if there is a God. Glad you enjoy it :)

[@LoreneFaith]

It is incredibly beautiful!

[@SaintSwithinsDay]

Anthony Way, of course, was a wee gem with a remarkable voice, but the real star of this series was Gloucester Cathedral - my personal favourite among the great medieval monuments of England. If you enjoyed this video, why not make a donation to Gloucester Cathedral to support the maintenance of this wonderful building?

[@MozartKCfan]

At least one million institutes do need donations. As a German I donated some money to an opera house in GB. Glyndebourne ! That house had published Benjamin Britten´s "The Turn of the Screw" here at YT...:) That until now was my only one donation to a foreign country. The publication of the full opera in the meantime was deleted again... It´s a pity !

[@JosephFullerton]

Humphh! Gloucester Abbey, we used to call it...

[@luxusvagabond]

What a fantatic voice - an angel is singing. I want to see the mini-serie "The Choir"

[@LoreneFaith]

Your very welcome. I am glad that I was able to do so. KZbin did not have any footage from this wonderful series.

[@LoreneFaith]

:) Glad you enjoyed it.

[@LoreneFaith]

@Electron1944 I found it and greatly enjoyed it. Thank you for uploading it.

[@LoreneFaith]

It is a wonderful mini series. I hope that you can see it.

[@nattyco]

Beautiful music but why drown out the voice with heavy orchestration? It was written for organ accompaniment so it should be performed that way to maintain the clarity of the treble voice.

[@muhammadalieesaa3379]

The kid was very talented, he's an adult now, I wonder what's his career now?

AHn-jel-e-koos, not AN-jel-e-koos. You're spreading your As, and it sounds terrible. Use an AH sound instead!

[@raytrench2265]

Team503 It must be wonderful to be perfect.

@Team503 Please tell us you'e kidding.
