Faith In Brooklyn for Dec. 24
Christmas Services and Programs
This year’s 5 p.m. Candlelight Christmas Eve program at First Unitarian Church will feature new arrangements of carols and spirituals as well as a touch of contemporary gospel.
Excerpts from larger works will include Bach’s “Christmas Oratorio,” Vaughan-Williams’ “Fantasia on Christmas Carols” and Praetorius’ “Mussae Sioniae.” Several stand-alone arrangements of Christmas favorites will feature more contemporary composers and arrangers, including Burt, Dawson, Gjeilo and First U’s music director Adam Podd.
