Annual Carol Sing At UCC Medfield

As submitted by The United Church of Christ Medfield:

One of Medfield’s most beloved holiday traditions is the annual Carol Sing at the United Church of Christ, 496 Main Street taking place tonight at 7:30 p.m. 

Immediately following the tree-lighting ceremony at Baxter Park, revelers heading down Main Street to the Midnight Madness event will be enticed by the sounds of a brass quintet playing Christmas music in the church lobby.

Once inside, listeners will enjoy the UCC Sanctuary Choir singing music like “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen,” as well as the “Ukrainian Bell Carol” being expertly rung by the church handbell ensemble.  Then over two dozen children’s voices will join together as the UCC Treble Choir and special guests from the Blackstone Valley Catholic Youth Choir present some of the pieces they are preparing for the 2012 Choristers Guild Festival, including “O Little Town of Bethlehem” and George Dyson’s “Magnificat.” 

Another special guest, Michael Mukisa, will be accenting some of the musical selections with African percussion instruments and leading the singing of his rollicking choral arrangement of the Ugandan Advent hymn, “Bin Emmanuel.”  Of course, the best part of all is when everyone in the room bursts into the robust singing of traditional carols like “O Come, All Ye Faithful” and “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing,” accompanied by brass, choir, and magnificent organ playing by one of New England’s most celebrated organists, Frederick A. MacArthur.
