Festival of Lessons & Carols
Sunday, December 15th, 10:30am Worship Service
What Sweeter Music – Mark Hayes
Chancel Choir and guest orchestra
What Sweeter Music is a sumptuous feast of fifteen English, German and French carols plus several new songs from the pen on one of this generation’s master composers, Mark Hayes. The joyous Opening Medley sets the stage for the many exceptional moments to come, from the powerful new setting of the Magnificat for soprano solo (Cherstin Byers) to the charming Cradle Medley. Between carols a variety of congregation liturgists will share the beloved Christmas story. To add to the festivities, the congregation will join the choir to sing in several of the carol medleys.
