Christmas Carols!!

[DeePandcrisPandeven]

I am downloading a load of carols onto discs for workplace on Christmas eve...we have a tradition - before Christams Eve - pop songs. Christmas Eve - Strictly Carols!!

I ahve a notion of favourites already...Oh Little Town of Bethlehem etc.

Are there any that come slightly under the radar of popularity, but you love to hear, and can recommend??

Please??

I'm a Christmas Carol!

Coventry Carol

Can't remember the title 'Oh now carry me to Bethlehem.....'

When a Child is born

In the deep mid winter

In Excelis Deo (very badly spelt)

Rocking Carol

It came upon a midnight Clear

yes deffo Sheperd's Pipe carol, it's one of my favourites, and reminds me of school when we sang it in the choir! Also The Three Kings (Cornelius, not We 3 Kings) for the same reason.

ooh! some sung in Latin would be good, thanks!!!

Agree with the 3 kings, also like we 3 kings, It came upon the midnight clear, Holly and Ivy, Sans day carol (and the first tree in the green wood it was the holly etc)

Personent Hodie (for ones sung in Latin) also Adeste Fideles.

In the Bleak mid winter- Howard Darke version.

Jesus Child/ Nativity carol -John Rutter

In Dulce Jubilo

Ding Dong merrily on high - that's great

This Christmastastic!! thank yous...am about to start searches.......I think the Kings Choir from Cambridge will be on the radio about 2pm, but we will need warming up before then!!

Coventry carol is gorgeous

In the bleak midwinter is too. And the words to that one are lovely

As with gladness men of old
Little Jesus sweetly sleep

little donkey

ah a colleague was singing this today - a deffo.

Torches
The Shepherds Farewell
Sans Day Carol

Cali - got the Vienna Boys Choir for Stille Nacht...( well not actually here you understand.... )

and them for Gloria in Excelsis Deo, too.

and Adeste Fidelese is on it's way..infact just about all of the recommendations are making their way! Thank you big. Some of these I vaguely remember and used to love singing them. Christmas Eve = no work, lots of singing.

See Amid the Winter's Snow

A Virgin Most Pure

Lullay My Liking (Holst)

The Truth from Above

Wake, O Wake with Tidings Thrilling

I Wonder as I Wander

as an aside..does anyone know a hymn that has a chorus that starts with "Though the mountains may fall, and the hills turn to dust.."?

IT was a great one to sing, but no-one I know recalls this...

Mari - am checking those ones out....now have two full discs!!
