Sans Day Carol (Rutter) Ely Cathedral Choir
After 1000 years of being an all-male institution, in 1970 my alma mater decided to admit girls. Of course they soon wanted to do everything that the boys did, and that included becoming choristers.
So, here is the Ely Cathedral Girls Choir (plus a few male lay clerks) singing the beautiful 19th C Cornish 'Saint Day Carol'.
In my day we only had male choristers, but the girls do a fabulous job. Turn down the lights, relax, and enjoy.

Thank you
I'm pleased you enjoyed it.
Merry Christmas Magnons!
Thank you JB.
Lovely! Very misty here this morning which gave quite a Christmassy backdrop to the video....I listened to it as I looked out of the window. Thank you.
Beautiful choir and Cathedral. Very high quality filming too. I enjoyed that.
Greetings Maria x
Mild and clear here, but with damp in the air. The Robins are already out looking for crumbs, and I'm just off to our nearby Christmas Fair. Happy Christmas Vera x
Good. Happy Christmas Maria xx
Thank you Cro. Happy Christmas to you and Lady M. and to your wonderful family. To Bok and Freddie also.
Buon Natale!

Nice bit of singing there.
Good aren't they; you should go!
Cathedral choirs and Christmas, a wonderful combination. Happy Christmas to you, Lady Magnon and Bok x
I'm looking forward to Carols from Kings.... I never miss it. The V du Pd fair today was very poor; you're better off in Blighty. Happy Christmas.
Carols - made more beautiful because on the whole we only hear them once or twice a year over the Christmas period. I too shall be watching, and listening to, Carols from Kings.
They're generally such good tunes too. Great for a singalong!
Lovely Cro. Happy Xmas to you and Lady M.
I am listening to this tonight with the christmas lights on and the snow falling outside and a brandy to hand. Thanks it's lovely.
And to you too Sue.
No snow here, but I did have a first sip of my winter Single Malt last night. Delicious.
