Advent Carol Service
'From Darkness to Light'
6.00 pm Sunday, 27th November
For some of us, this is the most moving service of the year, which commences with Trinity shrouded in darkness save for the candles of the procession party and the congregation; as the service progresses, the light slowly increases, signifying the coming of the Light into the world with the birth of God’s son. The music commences at the back of the church with the beautiful Matin Responsory by Palestrina and moves in stages through the church until the choir and candle bearers eventually arrive by the high altar in the sanctuary where the choir sing the glorious Bach Advent Chorale, Wachet Auf - Sleepers Wake! There's lots more good music throughout the service.
You can also share some refreshments after the service
Do come and join us.

REALLY BIG THANK YOU to everyone who
supported the choir in any way on their cathedral singing week to Wells, the
smallest cathedral city in England at the end of July. The cathedral itself is
stunning and such a lovely building to sing in with an amazing atmosphere. Our
accommodation was quite a long way from Wells in the beautiful village of
Bruton. However, Kings School, which was founded in 1519, was an excellent
base, the food, rehearsal room and facilities were first rate.
The
boys, in their free time, had an excellent tour round the cathedral on Tuesday
and visited Wookey Hole on Thursday.
There
were two first’s during the week of which I am particularly proud. On the
Wednesday the men sang evensong without the boys, during which they performed a
set of responses composed for the Vicars Choral (the gentlemen of the choir) of
Wells in 1987 by Frikki Walker (ex chorister of Holy Trinity, Southport and now
Director of Music at Glasgow Cathedral) and on the Friday we performed the
world premiere of the anthem God’s Love composed by Daniel Bishop with words by
my daughter Rachael written during an RE lesson when she was ten! For those who
were not present at the first performance the words are printed here:-
God’s love is the wind whistling,
Whispering in my ears,
Telling me I have the power.
God’s love is the sunshine,
The rays reaching down like strong arms,
Holding his lambs to his eternal breast.
It is pure warmth that gets inside and stays inside.
God’s love is a shining star that’s always there.
It’s crystal clear, beautiful, omnipotent,
Standing strong and mighty.
During
Friday evensong we were also filmed by an American television crew who were
making a documentary about singing in English cathedrals. We have asked for a
DVD to be sent to us when
the programme goes out across the US!
The
dedication of the boys and men in rehearsal and performance was first class and
as the recordings, made by Bob Ball, testify the choir maintained a fine
standard throughout the week; CD’s and DVD’s of some of the music we sang
during the week will be available soon!
There
was a great family atmosphere throughout the week and it was great as ever to
have Charles and Toby Cowling singing with us. Family and friends including
David and Fiona Williams, swelled the congregation as the week went on and
especially at the weekend.
On
Sunday after Eucharist and Matins there was the customary photo shoot outside
the west end of the cathedral after which we ate a picnic lunch in the
beautiful gardens next to the cathedral before the final Evensong. The buffet
and prize giving was held in the Medieval Vicar’s Hall before the journey home.
I
must thank Nick Miller for his wonderful accompanying and playing during the
week. Many thanks also to Hilda and Margaret for looking after us so well and
especially to Sue for all her planning and hard work during the week, ensuring
that everything ran so smoothly,. We couldn’t do it without you!
We
are already looking forward to next year, when we will visit Exeter Cathedral. Ian
