this has to be my all time favourite, i have a version of it by the Bach Choir but can't find it on YT, so here is one just as beautiful, have you some to share, no pop music pretty please. Thought might cheer up a rather dull grey day.

So Tony don't you know:
Good King Stephen last looked out
On the feast of Wenceslas
When a snowball hit him in the eye
Nearly knocked him senseless.

tonyav

Yes I do Prudie, thanks for the reminder.

I know it's not a Carol but the Walking in the air, I lost my underwear somewhere.....

Getting back to Stille Nacht, any time I hear it in English I translate over to the German.
Alles kalm, wonderful!

i think of the soldiers singing in WW1, the Germans who played football with the Tommies, until they went back to the madness.

And this - which is brilliant and a beautiful piece of choral music - a recent American composer in Morten Lauridsen

I love this, the choirs at school sang it at our carol service, I moved from junior to senior choir so learned both parts (the juniors sang the part being sung on here by the soloist)
