The St. Wenceslas Chorale is of course one of many hymns and songs about or devoted to St. Wenceslas. Many of you will probably know the famous Christmas carol "Good King Wenceslas" and Nick Carey will now try to shed some light on the carol's background as he speaks to professor David Holton of the Hussite Theological Faculty of the Charles University in Prague.
