This recording from the Choir of New College Oxford led by Robert Quinney follows the trajectory of the last weeks of Michaelmas term at New College. On Advent Sunday, the chapel is packed with members of the college, alumni, families and visitors for the annual Advent service. Over the following week we move at high speed and arrive in the second week of December, with Christmas in full swing. This artificial compression of proper liturgical time makes sense within the life and community of an Oxford college, since by the third week of December almost all the students have gone home and, in any case, out in the real world the Christmas decorations have been twinkling for weeks already.
