Midnight Mass 2008 at the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine. The processional Carol was Oh Come oh ye Faithful. Sorry for the grainy video quality. But surprisingly the audio quality is pretty good, imho.

  • It is disappointing that they did not use the Sir David Willcocks settings on verse 3 of this hymn for "Sing Choirs of Angels" as well as for the organ accompaniment on the last stanza. You would expect an Episcopal Cathedral of any caliber to follow in this tradition! I am the Director of Music at a smaller program-size church and we always use the traditional Willcocks setting.

  • @Daniel21384 I am not a musician, just a music lover but I do know about the Willcocks descant and I agree with you. Love when the sopranos rise above the hymn. Sorry for my lack of adroitness in explaining but like i said, i'm not a musician.. But u probably know what i mean. I grew up listening to that descant in my church our organist was so good!! Didnt Willcocks also arrange descants for The 1st Nowell & Hark the Herald angels sing? Search "sing choirs of angels" here for that descant

see all

  • @Daniel21384 Unfortunately, "anything goes" at an Episcopal church. As long as it is pretty and glitzy, it is fine.

  • @livzdave I've seen your videos.. Well done.. we've been at some of the same services.. Just sitting in different areas.. The organ does sound great.. Easily one of my favorite reasons for going. I hope to be at the Cathedral this year for Midnight Mass but I don't know if it will happen because my uncle is no longer a deacon there. Also I'm working late that night and will have to get there late so seating might be a problem. If my uncle were still there I'd have a seat saved for me. Oh well

  • @Operaman41 thanks for that.. i searched for it and saw an example... We wouldn't do the Queen Anne or the figure 8 at my church... someone might get killed
