Breakfast with Petroc Trelawny.

Petroc Trelawny announces the winner of Radio 3's Breakfast Carol Competition.

Back in August, we challenged amateur composers to create a 21st-century carol for a 15th-century text: Sir Christemas. After a great response from very many talented people, the time has now arrived for the result of the voting on the six shortlisted finalists. The winning entry will be performed live by the ѿý Singers.

The six carols were shortlisted by a panel including Judith Weir, Master of the Queen's Music, and David Hill, former Chief Conductor of the ѿý Singers.
