Looking like they've just stepped out of a Harry Potter set in their long black or blue cloaks, this film follows the daily lives of Salisbury Cathedral choristers now and then and goes on a musical journey from plainsong to polyphony, the Reformation, the 17th and 18th centuries right up to contemporary composers. What is life like for choristers at Salisbury Cathedral, and what was it like 900 years ago?
