Christmas is about many things but predominantly it is a time for stories and music. And that is our broadcast this Sunday, music and stories.

The glory of the tenor voice. But of all the great tenors of the last hundred years, who is the king, the greatest? Soprano Mary Lou Fallis will choose Luciano Pavarotti as her champion while music-master Stewart Hamilton puts forward Enrico Caruso as the greatest.

In our second hour, Mr. Cowling's Christmas. Church Musical director Doug Cowling has been performing Christmas carols year in and year out for more than 30 years. That's an awful lot of little drummer boys. In this middle hour, documentary producer Frank Faulk explains how a choirmaster copes.

Our third hour musical offering is the wonderful story of Go Tell It On The Mountain. This African American spiritual became something approaching a Christmas celebration.

For stories, a panel of writers argues about the moral power of literature, the fact that what we read can have a profound effect on our inner lives.

And three people who have changed religions will tell us their stories.
