At 11 A.M. on Sunday, December 20th, the Women of Ascension Choir present Benjamin Britten’s A Ceremony of Carols, Opus 28, plus Camille Saint-Saën’s setting of Ave Maria, with New York concert harpist Rita Costanzi. Other choral works to be performed include Hans Leo Hassler’s Dixit Maria and a rousing setting of Gaudete with percussion. Especially if you will be away for Christmas Eve and Day (and will miss the Christmas music), you are encouraged to return for the 11 o’clock mass this Sunday and support our Choir. (A separate program with the order of music and anthem translations will be distributed then.)
