DESCRIPTION:A candlelit sequence of choral music\, hymns\, and readings\, e
 xploring the themes of Advent - darkness\, light\, despair\, hope\, and ju
 stice – and how these are reflected in the oldest stories and wisdom of 
 Bible\, in the prophetic voice\, and in the stories of John the Baptist\, 
 in the birth of Son of God\, and in the cycle of life itself.\nThe O Antip
 hons\, around which this service is structured\, date back at least to the
  eighth century\, and accompany the Magnificat at Vespers on the last seve
 n days of Advent. They draw from the messianic hopes of the Hebrew Scriptu
 res\, to express the longing for the coming of the Christ.\nThis service\,
  which marks the start of the church's year at this time of the shortest d
 ays and longest nights\, is always a musical and liturgical highlight\, wi
 th its dramatic sweep\, profound scriptural readings\, and beautiful chora
 l music sung by one of Victoria's best choirs.\nMusic will include:\n\nHow
 ard Skempton\, O Sapientia\nBecky McGlade\, A spotless rose\nAnna Lapwood\
 , Drop down\, ye heavens\, from above\nOrlando Gibbons\, This is the recor
 d of John\nKerensa Briggs\, Magnificat from the Gloucester Service\nJonath
 an Dove\, Sanctus from the Missa Brevis\nJonatahn Dove\, I am the day\nPau
 l Manz\, E'en so Lord Jesus\, quickly come\n
