Ordination last night - 2 new transitional deacons, 4 new priests. St. Nicholas mentioned in the Collect and sermon. Cathedral was fairly well full. Lots of good singing and a very festive time.

Advent 2
This is the record of John and other suitable stuff.
Congregation even managed to sing along with O quickly come, dread judge of all, something I never thought they'd come to like.
Mariales by Hakim before the service as a nod to the conception of the BVM.

What about (Immaculate) Conception - does that feature at your place on Monday?
We commemorated it yesterday, though of course it didn't displace Advent II.
L'organist, why "This is the record of John" yesterday? Did it turn up as the Gospel in the CW rota? IIRC, it's the BCP Gospel for Advent IV...

Because it went with one of the readings we had - and the PP praught on JtheB.
Looking at the CW lectionary, Advent IV looks Marian to me...
Anyway, I just get the readings and arranges suitable music, train the choir and plays the dots.

We had Gibbon's 'This is the Record of John' for the communion music yesterday, as the Australian (ala RCL) lectionary had Matthew 3.1-12 for the Gospel. 'On Jordan's bank' was the gradual hymn.
We started the service with the sound of the shofar and then a very good rendition of 'Prepare ye the way of the Lord', complete with visuals. One of the things that people commented on so favourably.

No Carol Services in Church as yet, but there's one at our neighbourhood sheltered flats (with the local Salvation Army band) this Thursday. Father will be leading the prayers, I believe.
We do have a Christingle Service planned for 19th December (to cater for our Scouts, Cubs, and Beavers - it brings their late Autumn session to an appropriate close), but no Carols in Church until Sunday 22nd!

They've started up in our area.
University carol service last Friday, at the Cathedral (more or less next door). I can see why- term dates and all that- but way too early for me, so I didn't go.
Just to add- is it me, or is Radio 3 getting Christmassy earlier than usual this year? ISTM that it is and I tend to assume it's part of the general dumbing down of the station, but perhaps it's as it ever was and it's only this year that I've noticed it?

Is that the one that I once heard a choir director refer to as 'anti-tone-painting'?

Please could a kind soul point me to a good translation of the great Advent antiphons - in one place / document, and accurate and usable in worship?

Clotilde, this does not answer your question at all and yet, it is so lovely that I had to post it in response. Hope you find what you are looking for!

The Great O Antiphons are in the New English Hymnal - number 503. The full music edition has the dots which are fairly simple.
The 'translation' is fairly loose - that is to say a purist might object to some of it but it means they are usable.

3rd Sunday in Advent and still no carols at our shack as yet.
Today's offering includes Hanby's 'Who is he in yonder stall' as an audio-visual prelude; then 'Sing for joy, you advent people', 'O for a thousand tongues to sing' (sung to Nativity), 'Hark a herald voice is sounding', and recessional of 'O Come, O come, Emmanuel'. The sermon meditation is 'Conditor alme siderum’, the communion music is the Tudor anthem 'Rejoice in the Lord always',while the postlude is Bach's 'Gottes Sohn ist kommen.’

Thanks for the signpost to NEH for those antiphons. I think they are from 17th December now, not 16th isn't that right. The old Prayer Book has O Sapientia on 16th.
