Plunge into an ocean of voices - as comedian, actor and classical singer Lloyd Griffith (Ted Lasso, Soccer AM) weaves a tapestry of his favourite blissful choral music.

With mellow and beautiful music for voice spanning more than 800 years, from sweetly haunting harmonies by Josquin, Gesualdo and Lotti to rich autumnal Russian sounds from Kedrov and Gretchaninov - plus Thomas Tallis's sea of sound for 40 voices, Spem in Alium.
