Kimmie commented yesterday that she likes sad carols in a minor key the best. I might agree -- while I'm not sure if it's in a minor key or not, here's another of my favorite carols -- In the Bleak Mid-Winter -- music put to the words of the nineteenth century English poet Christina Rosetti (James Taylor also does a gorgeous rendition, the carol perfectly fashioned for his mournful voice).
So beautiful -- and check out the collars on the choirboys of Gloucester.
I like your Christmas tradition of sharing carols, although I'm partial to the peppy, irreverent sort. I like the tradition even better remembering your Christmas posts past and knowing that I've known you for years now without ever having met in person.
ReplyDeleteI also like pictures of the holiday cakes you're baking (hint).
I love a choir singing in a church where it echos all around, invading every part of me, filling me.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorites, Adeste Fideles with Andrea Bocelli....
