Lessons & Carols 2023

Hello Friends—
Here are the resources you need for the special music we are singing for Lessons & Carols. I will not bother to link the generic hymns here since you are fine with those, and you have the booklets already, so you can look them up on your own if you so desire.

A few notes:

  • SJ WARMUPS ARE AT 6:10. Please be in the loft and ready to go by that time if you are able. I realize a few of you may not be able to get there that soon, but please do your best if you can. Each choir will only have 10 minutes to warm up, so if you miss the window, well, you snost and lost.

  • We will be sitting on the opposite side of the loft from where we rehearsed. Ben is going to set up folding chairs for us, and we will nestle (‘nestle’ is the key word here…) over by the sound system controls and in the space on the other side of the stairs. It will be tight. We will make it work.

  • The event itself starts at 7pm (this is more for any friends/family who may ask).

  • Make sure you remember your music! You will need the L&C ordo booklet, and your Advent Motets booklet. That is all.


In spite of not having time for this at all… but because I love you, here are some brand new practice tracks for Ad Te Levavi.
