Directed by Murray Forbes Somerville

The echoes of carols have been heard through Harvard Yard since 1910, when Archibald Davison, newly-appointed University Organist and Choirmaster, and Edward Moore, Prof. of Christian Morals, designed the order of service still used every year. Directed by Murray F. Somerville, and accompanied by The Bach Society Orchestra and an organist, there are 25 songs on 'Carols,' telling the story of Jesus' birth in song. Some favoritesÐ'Adeste Fideles,' Charles Calahan's 'Come Rejoicing, Praises Voicing,,' the spiritual 'Mary Had A Baby,' 'In The Bleak Mid-Winter,' 'Sing Lullaby,' 'Jesus, Jesus, rest your head' and 'Joy to the World.' A beautifully sung and spoken Christmas story. Accompaniment on some songs.
