Here is something very unique for both Jazz and Opera fans. If you every studied from the 24 Italian Art Songs book, you will know these songs.

"When opera star Joyce DiDonato told us she wanted to sing centuries-old Italian love songs at the Tiny Desk we weren't surprised. But when she said she was bringing a jazz band to back her up, we did a double take."

More of Prokofiev's epic depictions of war. Please read the video description for an excellent outline.

Sergei Prokofiev - Piano Sonata No. 6
Sviatoslav Richter (who originally premiered the piece in 1940)
Prokofiev really understood how to capture the essence of conflict and war in music. Exhibit A:

Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Riccardo Muti
I Wonder as I Wander - arr. S. Pilkington
Williamson Voices of Westminster Choir College

Pilkington is a former WCC faculty member. His arrangement is less well-known than John Rutter's, but equally beautiful.

I will be posting some excellent full-length performances of Christmas choral music from the finest choirs around.

Concert 8 of 8 COMPETE. Tonight was two abbreviated programs an hour apart, double-seating in a small but very beautiful venue.
I am spent. Done. Only thing left this week is leading an all-school sing along with several hundred of my closest little friends.
Drinking a high ABV brew, and then off to bed.
Concert time yet again. (Number 6 of 8 tonight)
I hate wearing a tuxedo. Especially the damn cummerbund.
My fellow pianists here will appreciate this. On my second accompanist gig of the week, and fortunately nothing on this list applies.

This, IMHO, is what every local choir _should_ perform every Christmas season, instead of the out-of-place Hallelujah Chorus.
I performed this on my first choir concert as a college freshman, and I have loved it since then.

Recitative "When Jesus our Lord"
Trio "Say, Where is He born"
