Hi, there! Thanks much for your visits to The Psaltery. Let me just say that I very much agree with you on the quality of Rutter's "Candlelight Carol." I inherited a strange tradition at this church: we don't have a choir or even a vocal ensemble at the evening Christmas Eve services. Therefore, I have adapted "Candlelight Carol" as a solo and sung it the past two years. People seem to really like it. They've even stopped begging for "O Holy Night," which makes me glad; I don't like it and don't have the right voice to sing it well, anyway.
Hope you hear it often and sung well this Christmas, GEM! Many blessings to you!
