The organ pedal point and improv make me want to get up and shout praise to God even at 3 30 in the morning. Beautiful procession. Magnificent choir. The best videography of any church livestreaming.
CONGRATULATIONS to St Mark's for holding high the liturgical and musical standards (and not descending into the crass banality of what goes on in many of America's churches today) ! God Grant You Many Years !
I felt the same 20 years ago at St. Louis Basillica. It was rather diluted.... we Anglicans are more Catholic than they are ... and the music was??? Not up to my organist standards.
Mass is not better because of a choir and incense. It's not about smells and bells. Mass is about the Holy Eucharist and all the other peripheries direct us to that grand moment. So let's not start with better or worse.

As a Roman Catholic I longed these traditional rituals. I remember the censer it had to go up first then a swing in the middle and finally a swing lower , n and the boy thuriféraire had to censer the faithful; left then middle then right side the side of the saved! All is symbols but without them there is imo no sense in our lives. Keep on brethen Angicans and Episcopalians one day the RC will come back to olden days of celebrating God. Vatican II was a total awful waste.
A great hymn - I'm playing it tomorrow morning. Beautiful, dignified Anglican ceremonial.

This is THE penultimate Advent hymn.
What a very wonderful hymn. And strange to think one may have to go across to the USA to see traditional ritual and ceremonial.
Why to the US?
Singing this tomorrow at Lessons & Carols, The Episcopal Church of the Redeemer, Bethesda, MD. Tune in at 5pm EST! This version sounds great. 👍
I'm Adventist but I love this Church. 👌🏻😎
Of course you do. This church and others like it are our connection to our cousins in the UK.
It's a jewel. 🎉
@@yvonneplant9434 Amen 👌🏻😎
Stunning. Thank you.

Still happens at the Traditional Latin Mass, at Divine Worship in the Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter, and at Eastern Catholic Divine Liturgies.
Not my faith but very beautiful hymn 👍❤️
The faith is Christian the Episcopal Church ia a denomination. within the Christian faith..
Yikesee yikesee. MAN, that's high liturgy.
(How did we Roman papists get so left in the dust??)
The Episcopal Church gets it right.
The beautiful hymns with organ are outstanding plus blue vestments and people in pews singing ….
@@Modeltnick Can't disagree!
The Catholic Church absolutely lacks nothing in comparison to Henry VIII church.
@@michaelbarry1664 your sour grapes are kinda out of place here.
