Events
 Apart from
being involved with many liturgies, Musica Sacra also holds concerts with
or without other visiting musicians.
One of Musica
Sacra's aims is to provide the younger generation with a chance to be exposed
to the types of music which are no longer part of our day-to-day
living. Choristers will also have a chance to "have a go" at producing
this music
by themselves.
Most of our
workshops will end with either a liturgy or a recital.

ADVENT CAROL SERVICE
This is a
traditional candle-lit service where we celebrate the season
before Christmas. It is well known in many old churches and
college chapels in England, notably, Kings College at Cambridge,
where we based our format upon.
During this service,
the choir will sing carols (with some Christmas flavour!) and
other beautiful music as well as ancient chants. Readings are
taken from the Bible, telling the ancient story of Christmas.
Come and be part of
this beautiful candle-lit service where you'll hear beautiful
music and sing along to all the old favourite carols like: "Once
In Royal David's City" and "O Come O Ye Faithful"! You'll not be
disappointed!!
Since this
service falls on the first Sunday of December, it will replace
the normal Evensong. You may also like to be reminded that
there'll be a special Festive Evensong on 21 December.

ECUMENICAL COMPLINE
"Compline" or Night
Prayer is the last of the seven prayer services of the monastic
day. It is
accompanied by the chanting of the psalms and reflecting one's
day in various ways.
Musica Sacra,
together with St Andrew's Singers, will
offer the music for Compline in the Ambrosian, Gregorian and
Anglican musical traditions. Members of the congregation are
welcomed to sing along to the psalms and most chants, allowing a fuller
participation, hence bringing peace to one's inner selves.
In this event, you
will see the chant accompanying the liturgy with incense (in
some cases, and only very minor) and
candles. Do not be put off by the liturgy, but allowing an open
heart to see the beauty of this ancient music in its original
form.
