Hymns for the Christmas Eve masses are on the Weekly Music page. I was also asked to play an ‘Organ Carol Service’ at 11pm before the 11:30pm Mass. There were no readings or singing, so I just played through a list of carols.\u00a0 Apart from forgetting what key I should be in for the first verse of “while shepherds watched”, all went pretty well and my timings worked out almost precisely, so I finished on the dot of 11:30pm.\u00a0 Shortly afterwards, the priest rang the bell and I launched into Come to the Manger for the procession to the crib.
\nThe complete list of carols was:<\/p>\n
Gaudate
\nInfant Holy
\nWhat shall we give
\nWhat Child is this
\nUnto us is born a son
\nIt came upon the midnight clear
\nWhile shepherds watched their flocks by night
\nOnce in Royal David\u2019s City
\nHark the herald angels sing
\nAway in a manger
\nO Little Town of Bethlehem
\nO come all ye faithful
\nSilent night<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
