A Ceremony of Carols is one of my favourites, too. I may have linked to this before, but here it is, sung last year by some of the girl choristers of Uppsala Cathedral, Sweden:
One of the Cathedral clergy interpolates some short readings and prayers, turning this into more of an act of worship, rather than a performance, IYSWIM.
Meanwhile, Advent 2 at Our Place tomorrow:
The advent of our King (Franconia or - preferably! - St Thomas) On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry (Winchester New) Love divine, all loves excelling (Love Divine or - preferably! - Blaenwern) Hark, the glad sound! (Bristol)
A new Priest in Charge being licensed tomorrow, so looking forward to a really good sing.
1 Praise, my Soul!
2 Wele'n sefyll rhwng y myrtwydd (by Ann Griffiths, to Cwm Rhondda)
3 Tydi a wnaeth y wyrth, O Grist, Fab Duw (Pantyfedwen; than which there is no more inspiring hymn/tune combination)
4 Lo! He comes (because Advent, and hoping everyone realises it does not refer to the new priest, but someone even more worthy!)
