A Celebration of Christmas - 15 12 19
A Celebration of Christmas:
Conductor: Peter Brown; Organist: Alan Gidney
We are well into Advent and after our carol concert I’d say it feels officially more like Christmas! For many people coming to a carol concert is a great way to celebrate Advent, so thank you for joining in and making it so enjoyable.
We really enjoyed singing a number of new carols and revisited some old favourites – traditional carols with audience participation and that something extra from the ladies of the choir. It makes such an amazing difference to have a beautiful soprano descant floating above the melody!
What I love about carols is that you can always be surprised at how varied and wonderful they are! My favourite carol this year was David Willcocks’ “Birthday Carol”. This was simply joyous and a pleasure to sing, once I got the hang of echoing the sopranos ‘Gloria, Gloria in excelsis Deo’!
Afterwards we enjoyed mince pies, Stollen bites, mulled wine and juice & caught up with friends and their family news. Spending time with loved ones is so important at Christmas.
Thank you for the lovely solos Frances & Veronica and for Alan’s organ improvisation on ‘The First Nowell’, which was the concert highlight for some of our guests. Peter was brilliant as always. Happy Christmas!
