Merry Christmas to my friends on the Julian Calendar! This version of “For God Is With Us,” is done in an Appalachian choir style. I can’t think of anything more American or more Orthodox that this organic piece of work.
Christmas
Trio Mandili – Psalm 50
There will be no reviews either today or tomorrow as Orthodox Christians observe Christmas Eve and the Nativity on what was always the Ecumenical Church Calendar until the devising of the modern Gregorian Calendar, so for those who hold to the Councils, today is December 24. We wish you a Continue Reading
Schola Gregoriana Mediolanensis, Giovanni Vianini – Gloria In Excelsis Deo
We would like to wish our readers, especially those who are Roman Catholic and Protestant, a quiet, happy and blessed (Gregorian Calendar) Christmas, and we look forward to bringing you much more music in 2024. Merry Christmas!
Heritage Bagpipes – The Angel Gabriel
As we celebrate (at least on the Western Calendar) the birth of Jesus, the Christ, I leave you this evening with a traditional tune once performed by Sting under another name (Gabriel’s Message), this time played on bagpipes by staff at Heritage Bapipes.
Triosone – Christmas Lounge Vol.1
One more day before Gregorian Christmas, so we spend it listening to Christmas lounge music, courtesy of Triosone!
Blacknall Arts – Lessons & Carols: Live from Blacknall Church
As Advent nears its finish and we prepare to celebrate the Nativity, we have a rather charming Protestant offering from Blacknall Arts which wouldn’t sound out of place to Fairport Convention fans.
Scanner – ‘Tis The Season
Again, a very Merry Christmas to friends and readers of this blog! We celebrate the day with the usual festive tunes, but add one extra courtesy of Robin Rimbaud (Scanner), who synths up a few seasonal classics.
Cocteau Twins – Frosty The Snowman
We at MYNTH wish you and yours a very Merry Gregorian Christmas, and please stay safe with your loved ones. For the eve of the birth of the Lord, we offer a charming secular song done ably by post-punk legends the Cocteau Twins.
Thanatos – Christmas Moments
If you’re going to spend the winter holidays listening to Gothic Christmas music, you could do much worse than hearing Thanatos doings warm and rather respectable Christmas tunes. May you, my friends who are either Orthodox, Catholic or those who participate in one way or another in Advent, enjoy a Continue Reading
Choir Of Beirut – Al Yaoum Youladou Mina Al Batoul
In honor of celebrating Christmas according to the Julian Calendar, we will not be posting reviews today, so we wish to all of you, the faithful, and to our beloved friends, a wonderful Nativity season, a placid Eid and a Happy Hanukkah. May we be rejuvenated in the new year.
