On Christmas Night (“Sussex Carol”)
Season 2023
About the Episode
The finale of Camille Saint-Saëns’s “Organ” Symphony No. 3, composed in 1886, juxtaposes the solo organ with the orchestra in a dazzling display of majestic fanfares and triumphant melodies. Watch the organ showpiece of this year’s Christmas concert, where Principal Tabernacle Organist Richard Elliott borrows the Saint-Saëns model and extended this same treatment to the tune of the “Sussex Carol".
