8 December is not only the Second Sunday of Advent, it is also the birthday of Sibelius, and the Canzonetta Choir from Joensuu, Finland, will be singing in the morning. I shall contribute to the birthday celebrations by playing Sibelius's 'Intrada' for organ and an organ arrangement of 'Finlandia'.
In honour of the distinguished composer John Tavener, who died on 12 November this year, we will be including his carol 'The Lamb' in our Service of Nine Lessons and Carols on the Fourth Sunday of Advent.
