Recessional " Wassail Song " Old Yorkshire The Annual Carol Service seems to have settled down into a rather rigidly prescribed form, and the possible latitude in the choice of new music is small. Although, for the sake of variety, the choir forsook one or two of their old favourites, it is safe to say that their unaccompanied part-singing was more finished than it has been for a long time. A special word of praise is due to the trebles : owing to unforeseen circumstances they were given a stiffish task at the last minute, and they rose to the occasion excellently.
