The King’s College Cambridge service starts in 30 minutes time. (Here’s a tour of the chapel.)
I have prepared this morning a feast of eggs, bacon, fresh fruit, and cinnamon rolls, with coffee and mimosas.
And, as has been my custom for the last 15 years, I have invited choral orphans to join me at home. Many of us church musicians find ourselves away from family until later on Christmas Day, so each year we create our family of colleagues, friends, and fellow travelers.
The King’s College service is one to be shared. Today I shall share the music with three of my friends from church.
And Christmas truly arrives when the King’s service begins.
