I love this beautuful service. I would love to be there in person someday. Thank you for sharing this with all of us far and near.

Christmas is not complete without this beautiful service of lessons and carols. I love the solo that opens the service "Once In Royal David's City". That is classic.

Hermosa tradición de nueve lecturas y corales navideñas... Yo creí que tenía origen desde los tiempos de la reforma y no, es muy reciente... Qué bueno que la iglesia anglicana haya conservado ésta tradición.... En la iglesia Católica antes del nuevo orden se cantaban 9 salmos y 9 lecturas breves, pensé que era lo mismo... Éste es el respeto de que las mujeres no podían cantar en los templos, gracias por este hermoso canal de UA-cam.

The BBC needs to televise this every year, and not just as a radio broadcast on Radio 4.

They do. On BBC 2 every Christmas Eve. As it has been for years…

Thanks for uploading this. It takes me right back to my childhood, watching this very Carols from King's with my parents. Do you have the 1991 Carols from King's? Great to see Sir Stephen Cleobury. Much missed. It's great that the choir is in such good hands under Daniel Hyde, who, like his illustrious predecessors, is doing a brilliant job.

Thanks for posting
Too bad the spirit is ruined by incessant commercials thanks to a greedy tech monopoly

Traditional, anglican, cathedral singing doesn't get much better than this, really, does it? But why mess about with the descants?
