Performed by the St. Cecilia Choir of Girls, accompanied by the harp. During a perilous sea journey from the United States to Great Britain amidst World War II, Benjamin Britten composed A Ceremony of Carols. This musical composition sets Middle English poetry to music. The Ceremony reaches its theological climax with a fierce battle between good and evil, with the music vividly portraying apocalyptic conflict—a reflection of Britten's own experience at sea.

Sung by the Combined Choirs. In December 1918, a young priest named Eric Milner-White, who had served as a British Army chaplain during World War I, returned to England deeply moved by the devastation he witnessed. He believed that the Church of England required a more imaginative liturgical response to the war. As the newly appointed Dean of King's College, Cambridge, he adapted an earlier liturgy compiled by Bishop Benson of Truro in 1880. This new service aimed to narrate the story of Christ's birth and the incarnation of the Word made flesh. Since then, the Service of Nine Lessons and Carols has been sung at King's College on Christmas Eve. We invite you to join us as we retell the timeless story of Christ's birth in Bethlehem. Consider inviting a friend, as this can be your meaningful Christmas gift to them.
