DESCRIPTION:You are invited to join us for a Choral Service for Advent\, a
 t Salinas Church on Saturday 30th November\, led by the choir\, La Vid y L
 a Vida. \n\nAdvent is the name the church gives to the 4 weeks before Chri
 stmas. Often overlooked in the pre-Christmas rush\, Advent is a time of pr
 eparation and a time of waiting. \n\nSo this is not yet Christmas and this
  service is not to be confused with our Festival of Carols\, which will ha
 ppen 2 weeks later on Friday 13th December - with Jesus\, Mary\, Joseph\, 
 the Angels and the Shepherds and many of much-loved carols of Christmas. A
 dvent in our preparation for all of that.\n\nThe complexity of Advent is r
 eflected in the liturgy and music. It is partly about anticipating Christm
 as but much more about Israel’s longing for the promised Messiah. \n\nAt
  the beginning of the service the Palestrina Responsory strikes notes of m
 ystery and doubt: ‘art thou he that should come?’ In the Advent Prose\
 , Isaiah begins with the devastation of Jerusalem and ends with the promis
 e of salvation and peace\, which is taken up in How beautiful upon the mou
 ntains and the Micah reading.  \n\nStructurally\, the service is built aro
 und the O Antiphons\, each of which speaks an aspect of God’s nature. In
  some cases\, this is developed in another piece of music\, as in O Root o
 f Jesse and The Rose in Winter.\n\nZekariah’s ‘Benedictus’ introduce
 s On Jordan’s Bank and John as the Forerunner of Jesus\, and we enter th
 e New Testament with the Annunciation and the Magnificat. O Come\, O Come\
 , Emmanuel sums up the themes of the O Antiphons and Jesus the Daystar bri
 ngs in the theme of Messiah’s meaning for the Gentiles.  \n\nCome and jo
 in us. Refreshments after the service. \n\nClick More Info below to hear R
 owan Williams´poem\, Advent Calendar\, which will be read at the service.
