Village Wedding - a hidden gem from our YouTube video archive

Porcelain Magi, St. Mark The Evangelist, Ottawa

Here we are singing the exquisite contemporary Christmas Carol, "Village Wedding”, written by John Taverner.

This is a personal favourite of mine. I feel so uplifted when we sing it. Oddly, it has few hits on Youtube. Perhaps this is owing to its unusual name, and that it is not "traditional".

Give it a listen.


This version of “Village Wedding” is on our “O magnum mysterium” CD now on sale.  Net proceeds benefit charities in the Ottawa/Outaouais region.

All our CDs are available on our website in both CD and MP3 formats.
Our CDs make a great gift for that Choral music lover who has everything.
