Thread Name: Your favourite Christmas songs
Subject: RE: Your favourite Christmas song
if I were a performer I would do Christmas Rose (with some partners) and Jesu Bambino...I would never ever do Lo How a Rose..oh my did they make us sing a wretched version of that in high school...maybe a bluegrass type of arrangement would be OK..it sure perked up how can I keep from singing..but I like most of the standards..O Little Town of Bethlehem etc. There is some classical song from somewhere..Maria et Joseph et infantatum positum in precepio...very pretty..of course Adeste Fideles..I have never heard Catholics do Panis Angelicus for Christmas...and we sing a different tune (or used to) just for regular occasions...really good singers doing Angels we have heard on high...I remember a bunch of drunk geologists doing Silent Night in full throttle once..very moving..
