Half an hour of carol singing beginning 11 p.m. will lead up to the Communion at 11.30 on Christmas Eve. Kira will be singing three solos during that half hour: Jesu Bambino, an Italian Christmas song; Jesu, Joy of man's desiring, the well-known Bach tune, and Adolphe Adam's beloved 'O Holy Night.'
During the Communion Kira will sing Alleluia from Mozart's Exultate, iubilate, and Come unto him from Handel's Messiah.
When I asked to take a photo of Kira after rehearsal this morning, she insisted on a photo with me - so here are two pictures. Kira sounds as attractive as she looks!
