However also enjoy listening and giving majority listening rights to Advent music this time of year ~ so I was wondering ~ what are some of your favorites??
Personally: Cherry Tree Carol; traditional though sometimes attributed to Peter, Paul & Mary
Advent Suite, & The Final Word; Michael Card
and a great CD by Marty Haugen "We Come Dancing"
Your turn....
My thanks again to Maggie of From the Heart for inspiring the wondering.
(sidenote: New Years resolution ~ will learn how to load videos on blog)
I love "Lo How A Rose" and also Handel's Messiah.
ReplyDeleteWe are on the same page re: listening to Christmas music throughout Advent. I've always been partial to Marty Haugen's "Night of Silence" album. I'm also a big fan of "Breath of Heaven."
ReplyDeleteI also like the "We Come Dancing" album. Very fond of Kathy Mattea's "Christ Child's Lullaby," and also the more traditional Hebridean version of it, esp. as done by a duo called "Mignarda." We just did a nifty tune last Sunday, called "Waiting in Silence" -- a take on the O Antiphons. Speaking of which, the O Antiphons. =)
ReplyDeleteAnd Handel. And the Bach Magnificat. And the Rutter Magnificat, which we just did with my chorus.
And anything we did for Lessons and Carols in college: Lo, How a Rose...The Morning Star...Christ in the Stranger's Guise.
Far too many to list, actually. =)
That anonymous up there is me, Krizzzz. Not sure why I'm not showing up as me. Speaking of which...Marian? Is that you? =)
ReplyDeleteYep, Krizzzz, 'tis I. How'd you guess, the 4 a's? (Wonder where I got that from... =)
ReplyDeleteAack, people I know are reading my blog (turn pink)!
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting ~ Happy Advent and Merry Christmas!!
