In December1980 Kate Bush herself played this piece (or as much of 
it as the host, Paul Gambaccini, would allow) during her guest-
d.j. appearance on Radio 1.  She used the recording by the Choir
of Kings College, Cambridge -- which is still available, and as
a discounted U.S. release, on CD, occasionally to be found in Tower
Records stores.  It's only a few minutes long, and the CD is 
a miscellany of British choral music.  

Magical piece.
