I know we are supposed to say Happy Holidays here in Dear Leader’s Canada, but I hope everyone has a great Christmas Eve. Now for some more Christian music.
And your evening smile.

Well… this was certainly ‘music’ to my ears…

It’s a recreation of what a Lutheran Christmas mass might have sounded like around 400 years ago, complete with period instruments and tempi.
I’ve also got that CD in my collection. It quickly became a best-seller when it was released in the mid-1990s.
Wonderful.
I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Paul McCreesh and the Gabrieli Consort and Players recorded a number of similar historical reconstructions, including two other Christmas services. One was set about 20 years after this one and the other was from about the mid-16th century, both of which are in my collection.
I was made aware of that recording, as well as a number of others by McCreesh and the Gabrielis, through the program Sound Advice when it was on the CBC’s FM service from the mid-’90s to about 15 years ago.
The host, Rick Phillips, reviewed new classical music and opera recordings. He was often critical not so much of the performances but of the marketing behind some of the CDs.
Here’s a good winter classic…
“It’s 40 below.
I don’t give a fuck,
Got a heater in my truck,
And I’m off to the Rodeo.”
Oh crap, we don’t have an equivalent in an electric vehicle. I wonder how long the battery will last and the distance I can make…
Thanks for the music.
May your Christmas be blessed and your new year be prosperous.
More likely to be preposterous but your heart’s in the right place. Thanks and back atchya, DK.
I think that the better evening smile would be the first choice of Tim Hortons before the Justin Beiber mash-up. Brent Butt is far more Canadian than Justin Beiber, IMHO.

No, they’re not only available in chocolate. But(t) I wouldn’t advise eating any of them…
Great carolss. Very much less than great renditions of them. Especially “In the Bleak Midwinter.” I don’t know the guy, but he certainly can’t sing. Look for a performance by the King’s College Choir, Cambridge. The text of that wonderful carol, btw, is by Christine Rosetti.
