This traditional and much-loved celebration of the birth of Christ is, for many, the true start of Christmas. A solo chorister sings Once In Royal David's City and heralds a glorious feast of Christmas words and music from the candlelit fan-vaulted splendour of the Chapel of King's College, Cambridge. The world-famous choir, directed by Stephen Cleobury, sing carols old and new including the Sussex Carol (arr. Ledger), the Linden Tree Carol (arr. Cleobury), O Holy Night (arr. John Rutter), Illuminare Jerusalem (Weir), the Magi's Dream (Whitbourn) and O Magnum Mysterium (Lauridsen). The story of Christmas is told in the words of the King James Bible and in poems by Christina Rossetti and Christopher Pilling. |
