Songs for Christmas/Epiphany 2019-2020
Hello, song leaders and everyone else, too!
Here is the music we’ll be using during Christmas and Epiphany of 2019-2020.
Gathering Song
From December 22-January 13 — “What Child Is This”
(We have no Lydian recording of this, but you can familiarize/reaquaint yourself with it here. We’ll use sheet music, which is here. We’ll sing this over a shruti drone on silver.
January 19 onward— “Arise, Shine”
Lamp Lighting Hymn
Table Acclamation
“Shelton Acclamation.” (Note, this is not the same as the “Fall Acclamation,” also written by the fabulous Meave Shelton.)
Offering song
December 22-January 13 — The Gloria refrain from “Angels We Have Heard on High”
January 19 onward — Mxadana Alleluia
Final hymn
December 22-January 13 — “Lo, How A Rose E’re Blooming” or “It Came Upon The Midnight Clear”
January 19 onward — “Be Thou My Vision” (pine scented rendition, here.)
Thank you for holding Saint Lydia’s in song. Merry Christmas, and happy 2020!
