An original service of Lessons and Carols that incorporates a fresh new approach, combined with the traditions that make this service so meaningful. This piece works equally well with organ alone or with an instrumental ensemble for added strength. Piano can be used instead of organ with some adjustments. The option of using organ alone on all numbers allows for the use of individual pieces for services when the full instrumental ensemble is not possible.
**Organist may play from either the Choral Score or Orchestral Score.
