This is another beautiful event that could inspire some great miniature dollhouses with matching English choral singer 👨‍🎤 doll sets.

Why anyone found it necessary to take perfectly valid hymns and change the words is beyond me! I'd like to blame it on old boomers, but I am one of many of them who aren't buying it! Changing things, just so you can say that you've changed something, must cease!!!

Thomas RedmanPřed rokem

Lovely music...sorry, but too many women.

Brian PetersonPřed rokem

Who gives this beautiful music a "thumbs down"?

lacase111Před rokem

What an outstanding service and it was really enjoyable. It is a real pity that awful volintary was played at the end. It is just dreadful and all I can equate it to is noise!!

Alyx CoePřed rokem

Those Anglicans sure know how to sing a hymn.

When Sharia Law comes in....you can kiss all this bloody goodbye....

That horrible organpiece at the end ruïns the entire service as does the clapping!

A very welcome reminder of the real reason for this season..thankyou wonderful voices!!!!!

Who's been messing with the words of Of the Father's Love Begotten Why can't people just leave things alone.

Ranger WhoopPřed 4 lety

What in the hell happens at 1:09:25? Did somebody slip LSD to the organist? or did a large rat get loose in the key mechanism? Ortherwise WONDERFUL!

Cracking choice of music, brilliantly sung. The arrangement of Lo he comes is a bit fussy for my taste, and needed to slow right down to fit in the double descant, but everything is splendid - congratulations to Mr Layton, the organists and the choir.

that seems very catholic !!!

Beautiful singing. It's a shame the chapel is so underwhelming compared with Kings or St John's.

blackappleseedPřed 5 lety

I love that the choir is mixed. I understand that Kings College sticks to the all-male tradition? :(

David WilsonPřed 5 lety

Gorgeous soprano voice in the Magnificat!

Charity DellPřed 5 lety

Absolutely wonderful service--that postlude at the end signals to me: GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER BECAUSE THE MESSIAH'S COMING!!!

Of all the services of this season of the year my very favourite is the Advent Carol service. I attend this service in an 800 year old Cathedral which adds to the atmosphere of praise and worship Each year we are transported from winter darkness to simple candle light to remind us the Light of the world will return.

SirraccoPřed 6 lety

I rather enjoy hearing the music at Trinity any time of the year. After all, I did spend five years in that chapel under the direction of Marlow. An interesting note... I too, several years after Layton, was a chorister at Winchester in my youth... That cathedral is by far my most favourite place to sing for the soaring space and the extraordinary acoustics. Thank you, Trinity, for posting this programme. -JPS

I began watching this video on Christmas Day (yesterday) and have kept it going! Such a lovely, sober celebration in honour of Christ the King! Thanks, TrinityCollegeChoir!

Extraordinary celebration!!!!!

Why is it taking so long for CSgos videos to load up today? This one started out fine, but began freezing up after about five minutes. It also keeps going from very blurry to very sharp,

RanMouri82Před 6 lety

Thank you for posting this. It's so easy for Advent to get lost in the sea of secular, pre-Christmas consumerism. Such beautiful music puts me right back into the spirit of listening to God and waiting for the coming of Christ with joyful expectation.

Advent carols are the starry gems that often get overlooked by the public for the more generic carols this time of year, but to me these sacred carols come closest to the true meaning of Christmas.

kraftprPřed 6 lety

As to the prelude/postlude question...I had an organ professor in college who would insert her postludes just prior to the recessional hymn. She had a captive audience. They wouldn't dare talk or leave before singing the last hymn. She felt if she spent the time preparing a postlude it shouldn't be used to facilitate yakking -- my words, not hers. It worked at her church. She was a consummate organist. I've heard postludes at other churches where I couldn't reach the nearest exit fast enough :-)

Is he using an I-Pad to conduct from????? I love it!!!

Randal OultonPřed 6 lety

good gravy, what an uber wealthy American chapel, must be American.

GraceToastPřed 6 lety

That's not the point of that part of the liturgy.

GraceToastPřed 6 lety

It's really inappropriate for people to act as if the processional and recessional are performances. They are meant to facilitate movement: into the time of prayer, and out into the world. They are not meant to glorify the organ, the performance, or the organist, even if Thomas Handel is playing.

BartokfriendPřed 6 lety

I am blessed to be part of a congregation in Boston where it is the tradition, encouraged in the bulletin, that people sit quietly during both the recessional and the prelude, both played on the organ. It's Church of the Covenant and our wonderful organist is Thomas Handel. The only exceptions that I know are weddings.

djhootenPřed 6 lety

The descant in the last verse of 'Lo he comes' is insane - I love it!

kang shin-wooPřed 7 lety

one of best advent carol service!!!

Lukasz SzaferaPřed 7 lety

Amen!

Nigel WilkinsonPřed 7 lety

It's the fate of a recessional!

BartokfriendPřed 7 lety

I find it sad that people did not give the organ the same quiet attention as they did the choir.

Ted MorganPřed 7 lety

Thank you. You put me in your debt.

Nigel WilkinsonPřed 7 lety

Odd choice of recessional for an organ like Trinity's.

Kim NguyenPřed 7 lety

Beautiful! Many thanks for posting!
