This Sunday at the 10:00 a.m. service, The Meeting House Choir will present the cantata "Gaudete" by Anders Ohrwall. Written for the Swedish Radio Youth Choir, the ten songs included in this choral suite are drawn from Sweden's oldest songbook for schools (Piae Cantiones, 1582). The Choir will be accompanied by an instrumental ensemble including flute, oboe, and bassoon. Please invite your family and friends to this musical service to celebrate the Advent/Christmas season.

The Meeting House Choir will sing Gaudete, a work compiled from the Piae Cantiones, the oldest Swedish song book for schools published in 1582. It is arranged by Anders Öhrwall. Organist Gavin D. Craig will play Es ist ein Ros' by Johannes Brahms, Improvisation on "Gaudete" by Gavin D. Craig, and Psalm 42 by J.G. Walther. Our congregational hymns will be Comfort, comfort ye my people (PSALM 42), and Watchman, tell us of the night (ABERYSTWYTH).
