Welcome to this brief overview of Discover Worship’s new and exclusive musical, A Festival of Lessons & Carols. Drawing inspiration from the original 1880’s Christmas service, Discover Worship presents a fresh take on the beloved classic.
A Festival of Lessons & Carols is a service of Scripture and song. In it, we hear 9 Scripture lessons which recount the Fall of Man, the Promise of a Messiah, the Incarnation, and the Great Commission to preach the Good News.
Consisting of 9 Scripture readings and 9 Christmas carols that reflect on the significance of Christ's birth, this special musical offers a beautiful and meaningful way to celebrate Christmas with a message of hope and salvation.
44 minutes in length, this beautiful, blended musical ranges from easy to difficult and includes SATB and solo arrangements with optional orchestrations for some of the pieces.
