O Come, O Come, Emmanuel. Not one of the best known, but a great one to begin Advent (4 Sundays before Christmas, which was actually at the end of November this year). This is a decent solo studio recording, but to really hear it at its best you need to hear it done by a full congregation, with the tune as originally written. It’s almost like medieval plainsong, and doesn’t have nearly as many pauses at the ends of the lines. You need to be able to take a deep breath!
