Nine lessons

Icon from Bethlehem
In the morning we sang "Hail blessed Virgin Mary" and the Wood Mass setting. The Russian Orthodox Kyries went particularly well. At the rehearsal after the first hymn there was much chatter so I just waited for silence before continuing. Spoke to a lady about the Jerusalem cathedral kneelers - she took one there in 1988 from Woodmansterne. Liz came for the Nine lessons at 5 p.m. The rehearsal went well and so did the service. We enjoyed nice eats and drink in the vicarage and everyone was most complimentary. Vickie clearly delighted that i had licked them into shape! The repertoire was straightforward with one lovely new carol "The marvellous birth" by Bib Chilcott. On TV BBC4 enjoyed Christmas Oratorio from Weimar.
