Candlelight Service: Lessons and Carols

December 11, 2014

8:00 PM - 10:00 PM

Lee Chapel

Susan Wager

An annual tradition at W&L, the Candlelight Service featuring the University Singers weaves together the sacred narration of the Christmas story through music, prayers, lessons, and hymns. The telling of the Incarnation in this manner binds countries and cultures, dating back hundreds of years. Traditional favorites like Michael Praetorius’ Lo, How a Rose E’er Blooming and Paul J. Christiansen’s Winds Through the Olive Trees and modern masterpieces like Brent Pierce’s How Still He Rests featuring Joy Putney ’16 on the oboe, and Stanford Scriven’s Christ the Appletree let text and music intertwine for an evening unlike any other.

Tickets are not required. Open seating in Lee Chapel begins at 7 p.m.
