And On a Happier Note… Literally
This is quite possibly my favorite version of a Christmas standard of all time. It probably helps that it’s one of my favorite Christmas songs anyway. But I love this arrangement. I love the music. Mostly though, I love the way that the song builds in intensity and from the last verse to the last note it is just so damn BIG.
Do You Hear What I Hear? – Linda Eder
Listen all the way to the end and I promise you’ll hear what I mean.
Linda Eder is my favorite all-time singer. What a voice. And this arrangement, with the choir is awesome. I also highly recommend her Silent Night (as a round!), and Ave Maria (both with choir), and her medley of Here Comes Santa Claus/Santa Claus is Coming to Town.
So, not only do you have great taste in TV shows (WMC), write great fan fiction, but you have great taste in Music!
On a side note, the beginning of this arrangement always makes me think of The Lion King. It just sounds like it came from that movie! 😉
