The season of Advent is a busy one for the Junior Choir at Third Church. We work very hard during our rehearsals to prepare music for Christmas, particularly for the “Festival of the Nativity” on Christmas Eve. As you can imagine, our rehearsals are normally very lively but during this Advent season, the feeling of “Christmas anticipation” among the children makes for a particularly exciting time.
One of our projects this year, was to make a video to download onto Youtube. I am including the link so you can enjoy our Advent anthem “People of the Night” by David Hass. The children particularly love singing this song and were eager to record it in this video. They are also excited that they can send the link to family and friends who don’t regularly have the opportunity to hear them sing.
The loveliness of children‘s voices is always inspiring. Their singing reflects a certain openness, simple faith and innocence that is particularly beautiful in this season of the year. Christmas, of course, does seem to be so much about children and their joyful enthusiasm, hopes and dreams. I hope you enjoy the video and the children’s offering of praise to God.
