Films for the Humanities and Sciences - Carols from Christchurch

Carols from Christchurch

The doors of the magnificent 12th-century Oxford Cathedral are opened for a rare and sumptuous choral performance in Carols from Christchurch. The chapel resounds to the angelic sound of the Christchurch choristers in such carols as "O Little Town of Bethlehem," "In the Bleak Mid-Winter," "Silent Night," and "O Come All Ye Faithful," their voices blending with the hallowed images in stone and glass around them. The program also features readings by Alec McCowen and Ian Charleson. (53 minutes)
