Lots of excitement here as we get ready for the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols in Waltham.
For one lucky chorister it is her first time — and I find myself thinking about those with whom I shared my first carols service when all the harmonies were new and I had to count frantically through Tomorrow Shall be my Dancing Day. At times like these, music itself seems eucharistic — bridging time and space, making present what is past and future, connecting us with those we have sung with in the past, those who are with us now, and all those — anywhere — who share the same notes and draw breath at the same commas.
Join us tonight to build memories and to remember — and to keep the tradition alive.
