The first weekend of Advent, NRK (Norwegian government-owned radio and television public broadcasting company) airs an exceptional choir marathon in Norway. All 899 hymns in the new hymnal are to be sung from cover to cover, minute by minute. Choirs from all over the country are invited to join. We can expect 60 hours of live TV from Vår Frue Kirke (church) in Trondheim and other places across the country.—NRK
