I just love Christmas music. Tonight, while shopping for our Christmas dinner makings, there was a church choir singing outside the store. They are from the Emmanuel Church in Bothell, Washington. Here they are.
I was going to add many more YouTube links for many of my favorite songs. Unfortunately, the folks at Google have decided not to let users link to their songs. All that comes over is a big black screen with the Play button, no thumbnail. So see below instead.
Click on the above post for a link to the delightful Twelve Days of Christmas by Conservatory students in Birmingham, UK.
Click the Play button for a beautiful rendition for cello and piano of O Come, O Come, Emmanuel.
And from Boston, MA, click that Play button.
Since I was having a hard time linking to YouTube, I found all these on X. Thanks to Elon Musk!
I love the above song, which some people might not be familiar with.
Rock Group Performs Old English Songs.
The above story is uplifting.
One of my favorite pieces is the Corelli Christmas Concerto. Sorry this is such a short excerpt.
Another beautiful carol from England.
It wouldn’t be Christmas without Charlie Brown and all his little friends. This is the whole thing!!
The above piece is another one of my favorites, and I only learned about it a few years ago when my community orchestra played it.
The Italian carol above is another one that I recently discovered, and it’s just beautiful.
Another one of my new favorites, prominently on my Christmas playlist.
Next, how about a little bit of education, about the fabulous organ at Kings College, Cambridge. Many years ago, I visited the chapel for an organ recital, and it was magnificent.
And, finally, my very favorite, #1 song on my Christmas playlist, again from Steeleye Span.
Guess what? I almost forgot this one. A genuine Christmas in Poland.
Hi Carol –
Of course you love Christmas CAROLS, because they’re named after you.
Cuz Steve
Tee hee!
