Music for Sunday 19 December

This has been a busy week, so here is a quick run-down of music for the week in the parish.

Readings are linked here.  The psalm will be sung to Anglican chant.

The setting will be the back half of Michael Dudman's Parish Eucharist (Together in Song, 756).  The choir will be singing the Kyrie from the Missa de Angelis, along with the introit, offertory and communion sentences.  Hymns are as follows:

Advent wreath: Come thou, long expected Jesus [272]
Sequence: Behold a rose is growing [294]
Offertory: Long ago, prophets knew [283]
Communion: O come, O come Emmanuel [265]

We had our annual Advent carols last Sunday, which went well.  Attendance was a little down on last year, but the singing was as lusty as ever.  The choir sang well, and many people made positive comments.  Now we slip down the slope to Christmas....
