Over two nights, the Senior School visited St Mary’s Church, Witney, alongside parents and family, to attend Cokethorpe’s Services of Lessons and Carols.
On each evening, the music was provided by the School Choir, totalling almost 60 members, with singers from the Prep and Senior Schools, augmented further by members of staff. The Choir’s combined sound was glorious and powerful, but always beautiful, as they led the congregation in well-known carols and sang choral anthems, including Joubert’s Torches, Rutter’s Star Carol and Skempton’s Adam lay ybounden; the hard work each and every single singer contributed paid dividends in abundance, as they impressed and moved parents, staff and pupils alike.
Hearing the familiar readings and singing well-loved carols could not fail to put everyone in the most festive and Christmassy spirit!
