The Yuletide musical enjoyment is coming fast and furious now, just like the Holiday itself:
#45 - Good Christian Men, Rejoice (Robert Shaw Chorale): A jubilant echo of Gaudete Sunday, brought to you by one of the legends of choral excellence.
#44 - Linus and Lucy (Vince Guaraldi Trio): That this Charlie Brown Christmas jazz standard appears on Beethoven’s birthday would make Schroeder smile.
#43 - Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus (Fernando Ortega): An Advent church service regular, sweetly and crisply sung with a suitable dose of anticipation.
#42 - God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen (Mannheim Steamroller): A small sacrifice to forgo the hard-to-stick lyrics, but this justly famous version takes the cake.
#41 - Angels from the Realms of Glory (Knoxville Choral Society): I can’t help but love the energy exuded by this arrangement of the 19th-century Scottish composition.
