King's College Cambridge: Chapel webcasts & broadcasts

Back to Kings. They'll probably be recording their Christmas TV Carol Service any time soon!

8/9 December I think (back-to-back with the Easter 2018 BBC2 service )

If we're talking about the same thing, surely the 'fully harmonised' Gloria is the norm? In any copy I've seen, both alternatives are there.

Thanks, ardcarp. Really? Goodness, I am out of touch. I had never heard it before and, as I mentioned, my copy (copyright 1961) doesn't have it. When did the harmonised version appear, I wonder? At St George's, Windsor it has always been the practice to sing the whole Gloria in the responses chorally, yet in this 1988 broadcast the choir sings the first half of Rose in unison. Which is strange, because Bernard Rose had earlier harmonised the intonation for Christopher Robinson's predecessor, Sidney Campbell, and that version was rather different to the one sung by King's - and, IMO, a much better fit.
