On into February, there was a Candlemas carol service in church, a service which we put on in some years. There was one new piece for me: David Ogden’s setting of Angels from the realms of glory. Not an arrangement fortunately, as I find the standard tune excessively repetitive, but with a strenuous first soprano part!
Elgar featured again, in the shape of Light of the World. We also sang Whitacre’s Lux aurumque, Tallis’ O nata Lux and the Nunc from Howells’ Gloucester canticles.
