description: Written by a former producer of the BBC program, Songs of Praise traces the story from the first broadcast to the present day, 40 years later. With a lightness of touch, Andrew Barr recounts amusing anecdotes, reveals a behind-the-scenes view of how a program is put together, looks back at the most inspirational of the interviews, explores some of the more unusual and imaginative locations and props, and shows how the program has responded to changing musical styles and tastes. All the favorite presenters are there and, above all, there are the hymns which make the program so personal and special.
