Christmas Music

[callmemadam]

I heard on the news this morning that 400 choirs in the UK will be performing The Messiah this Christmas. Evergreen, or what? I'm still working on my Christmas playlist and meanwhile I've just voted for my favourite carol: doesn't someone do this every year?

I love to get out these old books each December; to me, they are Christmas.




I chose In The Bleak Midwinter, Harold Darke version.

I have voted for It Came Upon the Midnight Clear, mainly because of the second verse.

I love that line about when through the ever circling years comes round the age of gold.

I'm impressed that they offered options for In The Bleak Midwinter.

Once again, It Came Upon The Midnight Clear narrowly loses out to O Little Town Of Bethlehem for me.

I was likewise impressed.

Perhaps Oh Little Town will win this year? Everyone loves it.

My vote would go to God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, a long-time favourite of mine.

I'm rather surprised the Coventry Carol, another of my favourites, is not on the list.

Those books are lovely!

I also love The Coventry Carol and it's easy to play!

See Amid the Winter Snow for me though there isn't one on the list I don't love! Looking forward to seeing your list when you're done.

Another lovely one! As you say, they're all good.

My favorite too, right from the hymn book.
