Lessons and Motets for Advent – Saint Barnabas Church
We need prayer and community more than ever now. And our choir scholars still need to learn and hone their skills. And so we developed a plan to bring in a production company and produce this video for the benefit of all people of good will. This is Lessons and Motets for Advent from Saint Barnabas Church.
Evensong – St. Barnabas Anglican Church
We need prayer and community more than ever now. And our choir scholars still need to learn and hone their skills. And so we developed a plan to bring in a production company and produce this video for the benefit of all people of good will. This is traditional Anglican Evensong.
Lo! He Comes With Clouds Descending
One of my absolute favourite Anglican hymns (and I am in good company here because it’s considered one of the Four Great Anglican Hymns). Usually heard around Advent, this video is fitting for the moment because of the procession at the start of Mass. Pray, brothers and sisters, for those who have been withheld from […]
Attende domine – The Lenten Prose
Perhaps one of the most beautiful gems of Anglican worship that comes out during the Lent season. The Lenten Prose– or Attende Domine, as the original Mozarabic hymn was titled– is a wonderful and chilling reflection on the journey of Lent as we prepare for Easter. Hear us, O Lord, have mercy upon us: for […]
O Come, O Come Emmanuel
The mystery and majesty inherent in the tune and feeling of this popular traditional Christmas hymn has always made it one of the most moving for me. The scene is almost set my friends, soon the stable door will open, and Christ will be among us. Be sure to check out: Advent Week 1 – […]
Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus
Well into the Third Week of Advent friends and it is beginning to look a lot like Christmas out there. The stores are packed with people, airports are busier than ever and decorations and lights are everywhere. Christmas is almost here and we are already one day within the Octave of Christmas (anyone else recall […]
O Come Divine Messiah
Another one of my favourite traditional Advent hymns. I tried to find an a cappella version as this hymn is performed during the Advent Lessons in Carols at my parish but this version is also very beautiful and moving. O come, divine Messiah! The world in silence waits the day When hope shall sing its […]
Long Ago, Prophets Knew
I absolutely adore this Christmas hymn and in this version of it the horns are an amazing touch that add to the spirit of the lyrics. Sacred music has a multiplying effect on our prayers and devotions to Jesus Christ which is why I will be sharing more of it here on this site. I […]
Rorate caeli – The Advent Prose
Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the Lord have created it. Isaiah 45:8 (KJV) Latin English Roráte caéli désuper, et núbes plúant jústum. Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let […]
