Advent!
It's antepenultimate Christmas Eve! Or penultimate Christmas Eve, if you consider 12:28am on Friday night as Saturday morning instead. Anyway, there's no music in THIS entry, but there WILL be music in tomorrow's entry; hopefully to be updated in the late hours of the 23rd of December, here on the Eastern coast of the United States.
The purpose of this entry is twofold. Firstly to pressure myself into actually doing the update rather than kicking back and eating chocolate. Secondly I wish to put out an all points bulletin for Chinese Christmas music. It is really hard to find Chinese Christmas music, or at least it's thwarted me.
My planned menu of holiday delights will be of the "World" variety, and containing my favorites, and some little-known carols. It should contain the following music, and possibly more:
ALL THE CHINESE XMAS MUSIC I HAVE:
Joey Yung's "Xmas Chihuahua"
an mp3 that is labeled 成龍 - 平安夜 but sounds like neither Jackie Chan nor Silent Night
麥兜 - 噢!聖誕 A Cantonese version of "O Tannenbaum"
That's it.
ENGLISH YULETIDE DITTIES:
Catie Curtis - Lo How a Rose E'er Blooming
Mediaeval Baebes - the Holly and the Ivy
Mary Hopkins - Cherry Tree Carol
LATIN IS FUN FOR EVERYONE:
Mediaeval Baebes - Gaudete
Mediaeval Baebes - In Dulce Jubilo
Mediaeval Baebes - Veni, Veni Emmanuel
FRENCH IS NOT JUST FOR KISSES AND DRUG RUNNING:
Elyse O'Connor - Un Flambeau, Jeanette, Isabelle
Mireille Mathieu - Les Anges Dans Nos Campagnes
Mediaeval Baebes - Star of the Sea
POLISH CAN BE A PROPER NOUN OR A VERB OR REGULAR NOUN, BUT HERE IT IS A PROPER NOUN BY GOLLY:
Kolędy - W żłobie leży
HURON WHICH SHOULD NOT BE CONFUSED WITH HERON, A KIND OF BIRD:
Bruce Cockburn - Iesus Ahotonnia
