  • This Carol has to be my favorite of all time I start off by playing the "Fanfare Introduction" (Was sight reading it) then go into the carol arrangement and descant by David Willcocks from Carols For Choirs Book 1 - I just love the descant when you get a full Church singing this it makes the hairs of my neck stand up!
    Hope you certainly enjoy this one!
    Nadolig Llawen Folks!! (Merry Christmas Folks!)
    Cheers
    Rob
    N.B - I was here at All Saints Church 11th December 2011 to observe the RNLI Carol Service and Boy what a service it along with the Choir and Les Ryan on the Organ everything was going "Fanfares" and the Descant - It made the hairs of my neck stand up!

      One thing I notice in a lot of churches in my country (America), the new ones have Christian rock groups. Not for me. Having said that you check out the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

      ​@@KevinDavis338 In my opinion rock groups don't fit in a church. A church needs a powerful (pipe) organ. I haven't noticed it in my country (Germany) yet, and I also hope that this will be remaining in the future.

    I won't lie. There's something magical about the music of a pipe organ that just resonates harmoniously with your soul, be it calling to all ye faithful, or to soothe the bloody tears that fall upon its keys. The pipe organ is timeless and time-honored, and I don't believe, not even for a second, that it is going anywhere. It shall continue to resonate and sing so long as there are those who come to hear it

    Christmas Eve - what a tragedy in most American churches today - they are either organless or if they do have an organ, they feel a need to hire a cast of horn blowers, kettle drummers, fiddles and sleigh bell ringers to drown the organ out. All a church needs is the King of Instruments to bring homage to the King of Kings. There is nothing like the rush of joy in a church full of people on Christmas Eve when the first verse of Adeste Fideles is played at full organ expression. It is an experience and a memory that we all can relate to.

      My church has an organ and a piano, but they never play both at once. The music director either plays piano or organ, depending on the piece. On Christmas Eve, we stick with a traditional organ without other instruments.

      Samridhi Sharma , Jesus Christ suffered and died for you also. It’s easy to become a Christian. Repent of your sins, and believe in the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Read the Gospel according to Matthew Mark Luke or John. Have patience and allow the Holy Spirit to enter your heart.
      “Come Holy Spirit fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in us the fire of your love.” Be Baptised in the Lord Jesus.

    I grew up in a preparatory school in Virginia K-12, and every year, the girls in grades 5-12 would put on a Christmas Pageant at a local church that was done entirely in song....no spoken words. It was, and is, one of the most beautiful ceremonies I have ever seen This song was, every year, traditionally used for the processional. It gives me chills just listening and takes me back to those amazing years!!

    Excellent work! For my favorite instrument of all, the organ really gives the electric guitar a run for its money!
