Sunday Half Hour - 06/12/2009

Brian D'Arcy introduces more hymns for Advent. This week, he looks at the joy of the nativity as preparations for Christmas get underway. And Sunday Half Hour also makes its contribution to the BBC's special Sing Hallelujah weekend which has encouraged singers of all abilities to join together to perform Handel's famous chorus. This week's featured choir is the Blue Coats School Coventry, with the choir of Holy Trinity Coventry directed by Philip Formstone. The organist is Christopher Howard. Hymns include On Jordan's Bank and Come Thou Redeemer Of The Earth.
