The John Rutter favorites &#8220;Sing We To This Merry Company&#8221; and &#8220;Past Three O&#8217;Clock&#8221; will be performed, as well as Richard Francis&#8217; ever-popular &#8220;People, Look East&#8221; based on Eleanor Farjeon&#8217;s Christmas poem. The Choir will sing a jazz-influenced setting of the Thomas Hardy poem &#8220;The Oxen&#8221; by former Swingle Singers music director Jonathan Rathbone. And &#8220;Drop Down, Ye Heavens&#8221; by the phenomenal organist Anna Lapwood. Also featured will be works by Stanford, Archer, and Taylor Scott Davis. A professional string quartet will accompany the group on select pieces.
