Erratum (16/2/2026):

I misspoke when I said the original first reading of the first nocturn of Sundays were removed in 1962. In fact, all three of the older readings of First Nocturn were retrained, with the first still being the first, and the old second and third being combined to become the new second, so nothing was lost there.

I had corrected the audio as well.
