A Festival Of Lessons And Carols / Hal H. Hopson / Listening CD - Sacred Choral

For the many churches that do a service of Lessons and Carols every year as well as those new to the tradition, Hal H. Hopson presents an edition of that beloved service all in one cover. A Festival of Lessons and Carols contains a variety of carols - some familiar, some unfamiliar - arranged in Hopson's trademark majestic style, as well as an original setting of a medieval text. The traditional nine lessons have been updated by Mr. Hopson and reflect today�s important linguistic considerations, such as inclusive language, natural poetic phrasing and clarity of thought. The service can be performed with organ alone, but the optional instrumentation offers a greater variety and color.
