    We're using the O Antiphons in a class on the Psalter here in CA in our assisted living facility. The beauty of Caroline's voice and the accompaniment is a reminder that we're all in assisted living, one way or another. Deo Gratias.

    Exquisite, I listen to one a day plus the previous days so as to build up to Christmas Eve. A real meditation for Advent.

    Caroline's singing is just exquisite: she has such a beautiful voice! And she is very sensitively accompanied.
    It is wonderful to think how the "O Antiphons of Advent" link present-day worship with that of at least 1300 years ago. These antiphons consist of lapidary Latin prayers, invoking Christ, and calling on Him to come as each one is not only a title for the Messiah but also references the prophecy in Isaiah of the coming of the Messiah.
    Although seven antiphons have been fairly universally recognised throughout western Christendom, an alternative English medieval practice arose of moving all of the antiphons forwards by one day (commencing therefore on 16 December) and adding another (eighth) antiphon on 23 December: O Virgo virginum, addressed to the Virgin Mary. This has been the tradition in the Church of England until recent times, and is the version printed in traditional Church of England liturgical sources including the English Hymnal and New English Hymnal. (From 2000, however, the Church of England appears to have taken an official step away from English medieval practice towards the more widely spread custom, as Common Worship makes provision for the sevenfold version of the antiphons, and not the eightfold version performed here!)
    The sevenfold version produces the reverse acrostic: 'ero cras' (tomorrow, I will be there).
    The eightfold version produces the reverse acrostic: 'vero cras' (truly, tomorrow).

      Thank you very much for this insight Graham. Indeed, we didn’t record the eighth antiphon for our Virtual Church on Advent Sunday, but added it to this video to complete the set.
