Easter Day continued
The Westminster Cathedral Easter candle - the Coulsdon one is much smaller! All went well at Coulsdon. There was light snow as we left and a service from Liverpool Anglican cathedral on the radio with Mozart Spatzen Mass and tremendous organ sound. We had a mini-Vigil with Exultet version sung to Woodlands preceded by fanfare by Andrew Moore and bells and noise! Christ the Lord is risen today was shortened as there was no decorating of the Lenten cross with flowers. Haydn Missa St Johannis de Deo but no Benedictus. Bob Witham sang tenor. Now the green blade, Jesus lives! Christ is alive! and The day of resurrection were the other hymns. At communion the choir enjoyed "This joyful Eastertide". at the end I played Saraband for the morning of Easter by Howells. Sherry afterwards and met Reg who is a baritone and seems keen on the choir. Suggested to Dudley he should come along too. Got petrol on way home and have had 2 little chocolate eggs so far. To the Jugged Hare for roast ...
