Disclaimer: I do not own this! Once In Royal David’s City is a Christmas carol, which was originally a poem written by Cecil Frances Alexander, who in 1848 married an Anglican clergyman, and in 1867, upon her husband’s consecration, thereby became a bishop’s wife. History [edit]Origins Once In Royal David’s City was published in 1848 in Miss Cecil Humphreys’ hymnbook Hymns for little Children. A year later, HJ Gauntlett discovered the poem and set it to music. [edit]Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols Since 1919, the King’s College Chapel (King’s College, Cambridge) has begun its Christmas Eve service, the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols, with “Once in Royal David’s City” as the processional. The first verse is sung by a boy chorister of the Choir of King’s Chapel as a solo. The second verse is sung by the choir, and the congregation joins in the third verse. Excluding the first verse, the hymn is accompanied by the organ. The arrangement, by AH Mann, is slightly different in harmony from the setting in Hymns Ancient and Modern. As the service is broadcast live on the BBC World Service, it is estimated[by whom?] that there are millions of listeners worldwide who tune in to this service. [edit]“The City” The city that the song speaks of is Bethlehem, which the New Testament records as the historical birthplace of Jesus and also of his ancestor King David. [edit]Recordings This song has been recorded by the King’s College Choir, Cantillation Sinfonia Australis, Mary …

Daniel Defoe visited the city of Glasgow in the 18th Century, and later, in his book ‘A Tour Thro’ the Whole Island of Great Britain,’ he described it as ‘the cleanest and beautifulest, and best built city in Britain, London excepted.’ In modern times, a few days in this vibrant, cosmopolitan, European city, will prove that Defoe’s words are still both valid and accurate.

Stonehenge dates its Bronze Age phase to 2000 B.C. (but with a history stretching back yet another thousand years to Neolithic times). It attracts more than a million tourists a year, but is more than an array of great standing stones. Stonehenge was indeed its own city, the metropolitan center of a powerful kingdom heretofore unsuspected. That city is reconstructed by the author from the archaeological evidence–royal palace, banquet hall and tomb, among other bu… More >>
