Good Christmas music
Started by Rachel the AlaskanRachel the Alaskan
Are there any Christmas CDs or tapes in particular that you like? We like Currier and Ives, The Harry Simeon Chorale, The Cathedrals Christmas, and others!
So??? :):):)

You'll have to define "Good"…. and also tell me your musical preferences…. or else I might offend you with what I suggest. xD
Sarah Johnston
Piano Guys Christmas!! and Charlie Brown Christmas, and Kenny G saxophone stuff, and some Amy Grant, and I like Trans Siberian Orchestra. And Bing Crosby too.
Christine Daaé (Dani the Older)
Well… you know my answer. Roger Wagner Chorale! Ansel Adams- the older ones.
Rachel the Alaskan
Well, instrumentals are good, with just the traditional songs, but we love vocal ones as well, such as Barbershop Harmony.

Have you listened to the Wissmann Family's "Joy to the World" Christmas CD? (They sang at nationals this year and their website is www.wissmannfamily.com) I've been really encouraged by their family's music and ministry!

I had never before heard the song “the three wise men” till a few weeks ago. My friends were shocked that I didn’t know what it was. :P
Mommy's Helper
What is the song the Three Wise Men?
Sarah B.
I don’t remember exactly… I think that is what they called it. :S
2 Corinthians 5:17
You mean "We Three Kings"?
Sarah B.
YEA that is it!!! :)
SavedByGrace
That's what I was thinking.
2 Corinthians 5:17
Okay :)
If you search "Abidingradio" they have really nice Christmas music to listen to for free!

The Hooker girls Christmas CD is really nice.

I am not usually a fan of Casting Crowns, but I love their version of "Peace on Earth".
Our choir director got a choir version of it, and we sing it before most of our Christmas Cantatas. I personally really like how our adult choir, children's choir, and orchestra (complete with really awesome tubular bells) do it.
I think we are doing it with this year's Cantata; I will try to remember to post a link later, but our church's website has been maliciously hacked, (and we thought no one ever visited it!), so it may not happen.

Ditto… thinks of Anthem Lights Christmas cover
In It Not Of It
I haven't found any satisfactory Christmas music yet…..it all stinks….can't stand artists who are breathy..
2 Corinthians 5:17
I have a few suggestions….if you like the kind of music I do =D (No beat, etc :)
In It Not Of It
what are they?
I think Christmas music should have a distinct "Christmassy" sound to it. Lots of bells and jingles and violin, or an energetic piano. no singing wherein the artist sounds like they are dying :D

… And no singing wherein the artist sounds like they are having a leg amputated :D

2 Corinthians 5:17

Hannah W. (Adelaide)
Have any of you heard "christmas shoes"?
Dani(elle)
yup.
Hannah W. (Adelaide)
Don't you think that is sad??
2 Corinthians 5:17
What's that?
Hannah W. (Adelaide)
It is a REALLY sad song about a boy buying his mother some shoes (she is so sick she is about to die) so that if she sees Jesus tonight she will look beautiful! It is so sweet!
Dani(elle)
it is sad but sweet :)
Hannah W. (Adelaide)
it is sad but sweet :)

Christmas time gets confusing if you listen to the radio… I mean, the secular stations are playing Christian music, and the Christian stations are playing secular music. :P

sniffs that was very sweet!! (Although I didn't particularly like the music style, the message was very touching…)
