Advent at All Saints' - A Procession with Carols

This live recording was made on December 3rd, 2000 during an evening service at All Saints' Church with a full congregation present. During the performance, the Choir sings from several locations, starting in the Memorial Chapel and moving to the West Gallery and concluding the service in the Chancel. This results in a changing sound - sometimes present, sometimes distant. Featuring the All Saints' Choir and organist Craig Phillips under the direction of Thomas Foster.
