How about Victor Hely-Hurtchinson's classic Carol Symphony!!! :)

Thank you everyone.

Nothing, thankfully, is ever what you expect if you are not specific - so follow your own star! Mine has led me here:

Very good

I'm off for my annual listen to this one (in the dark, late at night, freezing cold cathedral)

No better place, MrGongGong, unless you happen to know of a stable in Bethlehem.

bbm, it's top of my list for Christmas morning listening. For the rest James Galway's Christmas Carol, Phil Spector's Christmas album, Cowboy Carol, St Day Carol, Sussex Carol, Christmas Eve in Falmouth singing Cornish carols - Merritt and Warmington, then a listen to the Nine Carols in the afternoon. December is a wonderful combination of listening and singing sacred and secular nicely mixed.

A good few years ago I heard a recording on R3 and went and bought the CD - 'For unto us a child is born' New College Oxford. It has now become my Christmas encapsulated, as the singing is, to me, sublime, and the pieces familiar and full of memories of occasions and places I have sung them.
Oh, and thank you Padraig for your clip, I'm going to be listening to that again.

Thanks - some fine pieces. Time to dig out Laura Nyro's 'Christmas in my Soul'.

Can we include pantomime songs?

The pantomime season seems to have started early this year.

But that's just in the "high" echelons!

Anyways,
