I hadn't planned to post on Christmas Day - so how did this come about ?

Well I'll tell you... I recently saw a BBC programme entitled "The Truth About Christmas Carols" narrated by Howard Goodall. The Truro Cathedral Choir were featured and the singing of 'And The Glory of The Lord' was just fantastic.

Only available as part of a 6 minute 'out-take' from the programme (link: worth a look), I went in search of alternatives. There are many renditions, this is the Brussels Choral Society.

You may know the song, it's from the popular Part 1 of 'Messiah', sometimes called the 'Christmas' portion. December 25th 2020 - Today's Star of Wonder is a piece of music composed 279 years ago by George Frideric Handel.
