An annual tradition at W&L dating back over 80 years, the Candlelight Service returns to weave together the narration of the Christmas story through music, readings and carols. The telling of the Incarnation in this manner binds countries and cultures dating back hundreds of years. From traditional favorite arrangements like Paul Christiansen's Infant Holy, Infant Lowly to modern masterpieces like the world debut of Richard Burchard's new composition commissioned exclusively for the University Singers, let text and music intertwine for a peaceful evening unlike any other in Lexington.
