Advent Reflections 2020
The joy of advent for me starts early when I start to rehearse Christmas music. There is something special about music for Christmas, perhaps because most of it we don’t sing the rest of the year. I enjoy looking again at songs I already know, going over the words and music and singing it in a new way maybe. So Advent is a time I am Learning and thinking. This year is a bit different but I am enjoying joining in with the National Methodist Choir of Great Britain. Not feeling left out and knowing other people are preparing during advent in different places and different countries is a joy. So why not join me is singing:
1. Ding-dong! Merrily on high 2. E'en so, here below, below, 3. Pray you, dutifully prime your matin chime, you ringers; may you beautifully rhyme your evetime song, you singers: Gloria, hosanna in excelsis! G R Woodward (1848-1934) Further details of the National Methodist Choir of Great Britain, together with the videos of the hymns and carols they have been performing during lockdown can be found at https://nmcgb.org/
