Carol of the Day

I went to an Episcopal high school, and sang alto in the school choir. Every year at Christmas we performed the traditional Lessons and Carols service.

The sound of the opening soprano of Once in Royal David's City still gives me chills when I hear it, clear and pure and giving into the sound of the entire chorus.

    The human voice giving tongue to human music is holy. Beautiful.

    Gorgeous. I sang alto in high school and college as well. This time of year makes me wistful for singing Christmas music.
