Away in a manger

[lovefoolb4u]

Hark the Herald. Not religious but enjoy singing it!

[badcompany]

id say ''SILENT NIGHT'' its just sounds magical and whenever i hear it it takes me back to being a kid,where no-one had worrys,when summers were hot and days seem to last weeks,and christmas was white and had a truer meaning then it does now..........

[Rosetta]

Away in a Manger when sung by small children together with the nose picking and spats with children standing next to them. I remember all those Christmas Carol Concerts LOL

[lovefoolb4u]

Actualy, I'll change that to 'walking in the air' although don't know if it counts as a carol!

Little Donkey and Away In A Manger

[imhotep]

"Gaudete" ("Rejoice") is a sacred Christmas carol, composed sometime in the 16th century, most likely in reference to Gaudete Sunday, the third Sunday in Advent. It is celebrated in many churches, including the Roman Catholic Church, and the Church of England,falling between December 11 and December 17 inclusive. The song was published in the Piae Cantiones, a collection of Finnish/Swedish sacred songs published in 1582. No music is given for the verses, but the standard tune comes from older liturgical books.
Enjoy.........

Blimey I'd hate to have to sing carols door to door in your neighbourhood, get to 5 gold rings and I'm off.

[imhotep]

Well, badcompany,as you like Silent Night so much, you will like listening to this choir singing it.
Enjoy and relax.........

Hark the Herald by Kings College Choir

[Totterdown]

Hark the Herald Angels Sing and Silent Night.
One sang very loud and the other more sedately but they both make my hair stand on end.
