Don’t know about anyone else, but it seems that my facebook feed is filling with Christmas music and carols shared by lots of different people. I’ve already ruled out a couple of possible shares so that I can provide something that hasn’t yet appeared ๐
George McConnell
Not We Three Kings
I am pretty sure that I first heard this carol when I sang it with my school choir. Its not the “Three Kings” that we are most used to.

An Even Older Carol
Again a very old carol – and once again there are many arrangements/versions/interpretations to choose from. All I can say is that this time Enya got my vote.
An Old Carol
Another old carol. Many years ago Steeleye Span released a single that rose up the charts – I’m sure many of you have heard their version of Gaudete. The B-side was this song, which I think is better!! Rather different compared to yesterday’s song.
Too Early For Christmas?
With Thanksgiving past I am going to move to “seasonal” music and we start with something soothing – as it is a Friday.
Happy Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving – and what more apt piece of music than this for today. Bach has probably been under-represented in my choices up until now, so this will make up for that a little.
Spot The Famous Bit
Following on from yesterday – another piece of ballet music – and also another where part of the work is much better known than the whole (and in this video you get to hear the ‘famous’ bit twice as they repeat it as an encore)
Nearly A Missed Entry
Regular readers of these posts (I think there are a few!! ๐) may remember a tale I told about a difficulty that myself and the principal horn had with the opening of Beethoven’s 4th Symphony that reduced us to tears of laughter!!
My Favourite Piano Concerto?
This week’s “big piece” is a piano concerto – possibly my favourite piano concerto.
