A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols

The Christ Church Cathedral choir will perform at Christ Church Cathedral on Sunday, December 24 at 7 p.m.

Based on a beloved service offered at King’s College in Cambridge, England, A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols takes an imaginative approach to liturgy, weaving together scripture and song, moving from prophecy to fulfillment, to tell the story of the birth of Jesus. In addition to carols sung by the congregation, the choir will sing Ding Dong! Merrily on High (Charles Wood), Tidings That Be True (Peter Aston), Jesu, as Thou Art Our Saviour (Benjamin Britten), O Come, Divine Messiah (arr. Howard Helvey), Es ist ein Ros’ entsprungen (arr. Donald Cashmore), A Maiden Most Gentle (Andrew Carter), Today the Virgin (John Tavener), The Huron Carol (arr. Eleanor Daley), The Wise Men Came (Miner Raymond), and What Sweeter Music (John Rutter).

The service will also be available via live stream at https://cincinnaticathedral.com/livestream/.
