The Choir Of The Christ Church Cathedral, Ottawa, Frances MacDonnell - Advent Procession With Carols

Review by Jacob Purackel

The album Advent Procession With Carols by the Choir of the Christ Church Cathedral, Ottawa, Frances MacDonnell is a stunning collection of traditional and contemporary carols that perfectly capture the spirit of the holiday season. The choir's performance is masterful, with each member delivering their parts with precision and passion.

The album opens with a haunting rendition of "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel," setting the tone for the rest of the collection. The choir's harmonies are rich and full, and the organ accompaniment adds depth and texture to the sound. The album also includes lesser-known carols like "Adam Lay Ybounden" and "The Cherry Tree Carol," which the choir performs with equal grace and beauty.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "In the Bleak Midwinter," which features a soloist whose voice is pure and clear. The choir's backing vocals add a layer of warmth and depth to the song, making it a standout moment on the album.

Summary by Jacob Purackel

Advent Procession With Carols is a must-have for anyone who loves Christmas music. The choir's performance is flawless, and the selection of carols is both traditional and fresh. This album is sure to become a holiday classic that you'll want to listen to year after year.
