Christmas Carol Time
Every year, friends ask me where I will be singing christmas carols so they can come along, as they would like to go to maybe one carol service, so they might as well go to one that their friend is singing in. So every year I take one unpaid christmas carol service because all the rest I do (and do get paid for) are not open to the public. Make this year the first year I don't do that for nothing.
on Sunday 29th November, at 6.30pm at Emmanuel Church, Lyncroft Gardens, West Hampstead there will be an Advent Carol Service with me in it. There will be congregational carols, but also the choir will do a LOT of christmas anthems:
Gerald Finzi Concluding Amen
Herbert Howells A spotless rose
William Lloyd Webber Love Divine, all loves excelling
Paul Manz E'en so, Lord Jesus, quickly come
William McKie We wait for Thy loving kindness, O God
Edward Woodall Naylor Vox dicentis: Clama
arr. Jonathan Rathbone Gabriel's Message
John Rutter A Crown of Glory
John Rutter There is a flower
Peter Warlock As dew in Aprylle
Charles Wood O Thou, the central orb
it is pretty nifty, transport-wise, being a short walk from West Hampstead (Jubilee Line, Thameslink AND Overground) and lots of buses. as they helpfully don't have their postcode handy on the web for tfl-goodness, have a look at their handy guide http://www.emmanuelnw6.com/pages/howtofindus.html
The service will last about an hour and a half, and then there is free food and wine, which is always tasty. There is then a pub over the road too. As it's a service, it's completely free, although there will be a collection.
Apart from Midnight Mass in the city, I probably won't be involved in any other carols like this this Christmas.
