Its Gaudete Sunday and part of the tradition of KTCC is the arrival of the wonderful Maddy Prior and Steeleye Span on the third Sunday of Advent.
Father Jerry addressed the very difficult issues of our times as we welcomed the illumination for the day. He also told us that we would remain with the Chapel for another three years – Rejoice, yes the congregation did. We have a very special Shepherd.
I look forward to this day, I look forward to this posting, I dont really know how long I have been part of the KTCC community but i like it very much and its part of my day. Gaudete was a Christmas single in the early 70s, and enjoyed each year

My Dear Hedley,
It is one of my favorite traditions here at KTCC.
We are happy that you are a member of this community. I look forward each day to your comments, and I missed you last summer when you went to the Olympics. I knew a piece of us was missing.
I have lit the two Christmas trees and the small pinecone one on the table, the pepper strand in the kitchen and the scallop lights. I have driven away the darkness.

Our trees are lit, I talked to the Prince’s Mum and am waiting for my Lions. Slowly a little light
Thank you for letting me participate, tolerating my indulgences, and my Lenniephobia. It’s a great group and I am appreciative

Beautiful song and tradition!
It’s midnight, I’m quite tired after another chorus concert, but I had to listen to this song today online. It’s not the same if I just listen to my computer files. I guess I’m still a freshman in the KTCC community with only 3 Coffee-Gaudete-Sundays (found your blog in Jan. 2010) but I’m already looking forward to Gaudete 2013. And the time in between 🙂

Birgit,
Nope, you’re a full fledged member!
KTCC has a traditional song for every holiday, but this one is my favorite followed by Alice’s Restaurant. Are there two more diverse holiday songs?
This is so very beautiful, and I always listen a few times, am listening again now as I write.

Can you share some of your Christmas concert with us ? It would be very nice.
Gaudete Sunday is special

Hedley and whoever is interested in chorus Christmas music,
I still have hope that a video appears on YouTube (our Musical Director has to decide that), but if you are interested, I’ve uploaded some unofficial audios. Just in case. Unavoidable Lennie song included 😉

Hope this link works, nevertheless I’ll take it down in a few days to avoid problems.

Birgit,
The link worked perfectly. I’m listening to God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen now. It is beautiful.
I’m a Lennie fan so you don’t need to defend your choice to me. Besides, that is a magnificent choice!

Birgit,
No luck from my iPad but I will try again tomorrow from my office. Looking forward to it.
Hedley
All Lennie should be avoidable 🙂

MDH,
You couldn’t let it go, even for Christmas! Where’s your spirit of the season? The song is Halleluia, one of his best!!
December 16, 2012 at 8:26 pm
That Lennie isn’t very Christmasy, I was thinking Suzanne was going down to the crèche or something. I didn’t realize that the hallelujah song about the very naughty Bathsheba was on the Lennie Christmas Album. Hallelujah to Lennie and the season.
That’s no way to say…Happy Christmas
December 16, 2012 at 8:38 pm
The 3rd verse is changed to “In Bethlehem a child was born…”.
Christmasy enough?
December 16, 2012 at 8:45 pm
Hedley, it’s this pure and chaste Christmas version:

Lennie does Isaiah 9:6 ?
December 16, 2012 at 8:50 pm
MDH,
He does the background music!!!

Birgit,
The Vocal Majority Chorus has made that song so beautiful!!

It is awfully good, thank you so much for sharing. It totally merits a Birgit Christmas Festival at KTCC.
Lovely

Hedley, thanks for the compliment.
It seems that both Hallelujahs will go to YouTube. If I post the links in a comment, it’s definitely enough Birgit Christmas Festival at KTCC.

Birgit,
Not enough says I as already I had planned to post it and also a song from im6’s compilation-sort of a family day here at KTCC.
December 17, 2012 at 8:58 am
Oh, and I do like the real Hallelujah much better than the Lennie adaptation.
December 17, 2012 at 10:22 am
MDH,
What a surprise!!
