The Twelve Days of Christmas
While we shelter in place during this Christmas season, the Christ Church music program is sharing a new Christmas carol for each of the twelve days of Christmas. The performances feature the talents of the Christ Church Parish Choir; the singers of the chamber choir Convivium, our artists-in-residence; and special guest musicians and friends of the parish. We hope these carols bring a spark of joy to you and your loved ones during this Christmas season!
Celebrate the twelfth day of Christmas with a parish favorite, Shawn Kirchner’s rousing arrangement of the Epiphany hymn “Brightest and Best.”
Today’s carol is a new take on a familiar favorite: cellist Robin Snyder’s gorgeous rendition of “Panis Angelicus.”
Today’s carol is a favorite of the Parish Choir: Gustav Holst’s haunting setting of “Lullay my liking.”
Ring in 2021 with the joyful carol “Ding! dong! merrily on high,” sung by the Parish Choir.
Ring in the New Year with one of our parish’s favorite carols: Craig Hella Johnson’s arrangement of “Lo, how a rose e’er blooming / The Rose.”
Today’s carol is short and sweet: Peter Warlock’s setting of the medieval poem “Adam lay ybounden.”
Today’s carol features flautist Vivian Boudreaux Mikasa playing a lively arrangement of “God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen.”
Today’s carol is a gorgeous art song by the 20th-century Black American composer Florence B. Price, “Song to the Dark Virgin.”
Today’s carol was brought to us by one of our choristers who grew up singing it in England: Michael Head’s “The Little Road to Bethlehem.”
Our first carol is a virtual choir rendition of the beloved hymn “O come, all ye faithful.”
