Christmas concert...

[fajrdrako]

I went to a Christmas concert his evening, "Vespers and Carols" by the Musica Viva Singers and Harmonia Choir of Ottawa. I knew about it because duncanmac is in the choir, and I love Christmas music. While there I saw both auriaephiala and Hildegarde. It was in a lovely church, St. Matthew's in the Glebe, and the acoustics were perfect. The place was packed

I'm glad you had a lovely time & a safe walk home.

What Christmas music would you like? I've got lots, & would love to share.

[fajrdrako]

I'm making a personal collection of different singers doing In The Bleak Midwinter. There are two tunes, one of which I like and one of which I don't, and I never remember which is the American and which is the British.

I'd love to hear any Christmas music. I love the old traditional stuff, but this year I've been hearing some different, quirky (and sometimes just plain weird) Christmas music.

Anything that's interesting!

Eeeeeeeeeee! This is wonderful! Thank you.

Re: More goodies for you

[filkferengi]

You're very welcome.

Let me know how you like the Ensemble Galilei; I've got 3 more albums by them I could upload for you.

Re: More goodies for you

[fajrdrako]

I'm loving it all. I was laughing loudly at the wicked Bob Rivers lyrics. And my collection of "In the Bleak Midwinter" has just doubled!

Speaking of which, here are some more, from some mixes I've downloaded recently.

Since you're such an enthusiast of the song, have you read the Julia Spencer Fleming book of the same name? It's the first in a very excellent mystery series about a female Anglican reverend who arrives in upstate NY in winter driving a red MG. You may remember when hornedhopper jumped up & down about the series on-list a couple of years ago.

Re: More goodies for you

[fajrdrako]

No, I haven't read the Fleming book - never heard of it. I must look for it!
