  2. Annual reminder that Carol of the Bells is a Ukrainian song. Here is a recent performance of Shchedryk in the turbine hall of a thermal power plant destroyed by Russian attacks.

  5. It's so weird. I've not touched any xmas tunes or been anywhere were they've been played yet but still, in these random, brief quiet moments an xmas classic will start playing in my head.

    I may need therapy as I think I have xmas song PTSD 😱

    Must be time to dig out the old, A Very Scary Solstice & it's sister album, An Even Scarier Solstice.
    My sanity thanks you HPLHS.

  6. I'm an atheist, but I still enjoy various types of music, including the religious variety, as some is quite beautiful. To that end, I posted this a few years ago on Facebook. I braved the nightmare that is the main site today and was able to find it. I hope it brings joy to you.

    Now, it's time for some Christmas music history! Some of these are playlists, so just skip what you don't like, I promise, this is not the usual music you hear in shops!

    I have a few time periods in mind, but let us begin with the very first Christmas song ever written.

    Jesus Refulsit Omnium - Roman Christmas Song - YouTube

    youtube.com/watch?v=izRVH2avtz…

    And now, for something a bit more modern. Don't expect to hear Elvis on this list, though.

    Here are some songs from the eighteenth century! Unfortunately, these are just instrumentals.

    On to the Regency! Yay! Sadly, there isn't much available from then. Please feel free to make suggestions.

    This may or may not be authentic, but it's pleasant. Again, it's instrumental.

    Regency Music - Peaceful Christmas

    This is real, in more ways than one, as the song existed then, and it's being played on a genuine Regency piano!

    On to the Victorian era. Believe it or not, while a large number of familiar Christmas songs came from then, I can't find a good playlist! Again, if you know of one, please suggest it. While this recording is modern, you can be sure that Victorians would have been very familiar with the arrangements and that many also spent time in the church where this was recorded, probably hearing the same organ, too!

    Now, let's turn to my second favourite period next to the Regency, the Edwardian! This extremely special! All of the following was actually recorded then! I have made it a tradition to listen to this every year. Some of the tunes may be familiar, but in several cases, the lyrics may not be. The last one is a real treat for the children and those young at heart!

    I'm not very familiar with this one.

    This is from two years after King Edward's death, but I had to include it, as it's a lovely version. Note that the link that I originally provided no longer exists, so I had to find another. But here, you can actually see the grammophone!

    "Silent Night! Hallowed Night!" Elsie Baker on VV Model XI, 1912.

    Finally, as my friends know, I love Eton College, so I had to include this. It breaks the theme slightly, in that it doesn't belong to a specific time period, but songs from different times are sung, and all in a very traditional manner.

  7. Good Morning #Canada
    One more sleep until the big guy drops off some stuff. Today, I'll share one of my favourite Christmas songs, top 3 at least, which is a traditional Carol sung by Canadian artists.
    Have a safe and happy holiday!

  8. Please have this. It is one of my favourite Christmas songs.

    May you have a peaceful, restful, and joyous holiday season. 💜

    Like many of us, I get dragged down by all the <gestures> around us, but there IS good in the world. Seek it. Support it. Nourish it.

  9. Learned recently that there's an old Scottish version of the Twelve Days of Christmas song - called 'Yule Days' or 'Thirteen Days of Yule'.

    It's quite like the Twelve Days - but with much more a-merrying, and a less memorable numbering system.

    Here's it's final verse from Robert Chambers's 1858 book of Popular Rhymes of Scotland; and a more obvious rhyme scheme shown by Donald MacDonald in a 1965 Chapbook.

  10. When Americans on Christmas sing “Oh Little Town of Bethlehem”, do they realize that their tax money & elected officials are contributing towards driving Christians away from that sacred place?

  11. Why is this Christmas carol cover (that is not the whole song) of My Chemical Romance's "Helena" so good and WHY is there not a full version? song.link/y/OceO3bdPc9E

    Please?
