24 Dec 02 - 07:58 PM (#853348) Subject: Hymn in King's College carol concert UK From: Bonnie Shaljean Does anyone know where I could find a programme of the items sung in the Christmas Eve Festival of Nine Lessons & Carols at King's College, Cambridge? It was broadcast on BBC TV and I fell in love with one of the hymns, but the title flashed by so quickly that I couldn't catch it. All I can remember is that it was composed by (I think) Howells, and it occurred about the middle of the service, directly before a piece by Judith Weir called something like "Illuminata". If anyone in the UK/Ireland video-taped this broadcast and can tell me the name of the Howells composition, or point me in the direction of a programme list (couldn't find anything on the BBC website) I'll be forever grateful! Happy holidays to all - Bonnie |

24 Dec 02 - 08:27 PM (#853367) Subject: RE: Hymn in King's College carol concert UK From: Bonnie Shaljean I found that listing, and also the same one on Kings' own website (which seems to be last updated on 19th December) but the problem is, it doesn't exactly match what I heard today! A lot of the pieces are the same, but items were sung which are not on this list (including the Weir), and titles appear on this list which weren't in the programme that I heard - ??? I saw the BBC2 TV broadcast, which aired a couple of hours after the event. It also went out live on radio but I couldn't get it. Anyway, thanks for the speedy help! |
