christmas music

In the Bleak mid Winter - Harold Darke's version and anything Christmassy by John Rutter, make my heart sing.
Away in the Manger is the first carol I remember from my very young childhood and singing/hearing it gives me a trembly, emotional, maudlin, fuzzy feeling

roses - my favourite of all films; I have it on DVD, and John Barry's music for Eleanor is wonderful.

The Christmas Song (Mel Tormé) is fine, and my favourite from two or three years ago I Love New York at Christmas (Feather), recorded by Lorraine Feather, is worth listening out for.

We always sang Adeste Fideles at school, I had the words stuck in my hymn book for years. I love Gaudete as well, it wouldn't sound half as good in English. We used to sing a couple of French carols too. If I'm in the car I play a CD of Friar Alessandro, the monk from Assissi singing Christmas songs.

I love John Rutter Shepherd's Pipe Carol and the Candlelight Carol in particular. Also the Carol of the bells by Libera.
But there is so much Christmas music that is wonderful.
