Christmas Carols: a Poll

[ProVobis]

Here it is, but you’ll have to wait for verse 4 for the descant which corresponds to verse 3 in the version previously posted.

It’s a little different but very nicely done. It makes you look to heaven just hearing it.

For “cuteness” while still being spiritual, it’s hard to beat John Rutter’s “Donkey Carol”. This was sung at the concert the other night-- careful, it’s catching and you’ll hear this tune in your head all day! “Nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell, Ding a dong, ding dong!”

For more serious carols, I love “Gesu, Bambino”

Gesu, Bambino sung by Jessye Norman… youtube.com/watch?v=KofyH-B_NeA
