We'll be singing 9 items - 4 as a choir alone and 5 with the congregation.

1. Kontakion of the Forefeast of the Nativity
2. Once in royal David's city
3. O little town of Bethlehem
4. O rejoice virgin Mary - by Arvo Pärt
5. Of the Father's heart begotten
6. Hark! the herald angels sing
7. Silent night
8. Shepherds arise
9. O come, all ye faithful

Below are by no means model performances, but are useful (and hopefully fun) for you to hear to get to know the music better and hear how other people have performed it.
