The Music of Christmas
“Silent Night, Holy Night. All is calm. All is bright”
IN THE MIDST of all the rush and preparations of the Season, the saving grace for me is the joyful and peaceful music of Christmas. My favorite Christmas albums are Johnny Mathis’s 50th Anniversary Christmas Celebration and A St. Olaf Christmas in Norway with the St. Olaf choir. For me, it’s the music that carries forward the light of hope and love into the world at Christmas time.
There’s nothing more beautiful to me than choral singing, especially children singing. The human voice has no match in all the world of musical expression. Here’s an hour-long video of the St Olaf choir’s Christmas concert in Norway for your enjoyment. I just love seeing our youth sing with such love for their beautiful heavenly music, voices lifting songs of praise and worship up to our Holy Lord and King at Christmas time.
Bonnie and I wish you all and each one a silent, holy, calm and bright Christmas and a Happy New Year in 2024. (Listen via earbuds or a soundbar. Click on the picture for a full screen option. ) ~Anthony
