Nine Lessons & Carols is an online resource designed to save you time when planning your carol servi Thanks for visiting! Stephen
I came up with the idea of this website when I was planning our service of Nine Lessons and Carols at St Mary’s, Dover (UK) last year. I needed a carol to go with one particular reading and I was short of inspiration. I went looking for a resource like this and was surprised not to find such a thing. It's designed simply to provide suggestions as to possible repertoire, linked to the various tradi
tional readings in the carol service. Some of the music is suitable for more than one reading, of course, but I've tried to pin everything to at least one reading. I’d be very happy to have more suggestions for suitable repertoire, in particular items for upper voices. Send your suggestions for additional repertoire to me via the contact button above, and let me know why the pieces work for you. Together we can make this a truly valuable and time-saving online resource. I hope you find these pages useful, and that maybe you will discover the inspiration I was lacking last year.
