Magnificat Chorale Tapes Christmas 2007 Program

Last Thursday, members of Magnificat Academy's Chorale spent the day at Comcast Studios in Springfield to tape our 2007 Christmas Program. The performance included traditional fare such as What Child is This?, O Holy Night, and Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming, songs from around the world with Sankta Lucia (traditional Swedish, in honor of St. Lucy, whose feast we celebrate mid-Advent), Gamano N'Etam (Senegalese), and Il Est Ne (traditional French), as well as some lovely sacred music and chant, including Mozart's Ave Verum, Psalm 110 (Behold the Lord Will Come) and Rorate Coeli.

We hope to announce details soon about when the program can be seen. In the meantime, here are some images from the taping:
