A traditional service of readings and carols telling the Christmas story, sung by Fenham Ensemble and directed by Simon Davies-Fidler.
🎄 In addition to some traditional carols, and modern arrangements of well-known carols, we also can’t wait to perform two beautiful pieces which are new to us this year: Veni Veni by Michael John Trotta and The Sleeping Child by Bob Chilcott both stunning carols. We’ll also be singing some of our favourites including Tavener’s The Lamb; Herbert Howells’ Here is the Little Door; Jesus Christ The Apple Tree by Elizabeth Poston; Away in a Manger arranged by Ola Gjeilo; and I Saw Three Ships by our very own Len Young, along with many more favourites and plenty for the congregation to join in with too.
Come and join us and share in this very special Christmas service. All are welcome, just come along. 🎄
