I cannot express how much I would love to sing this piece in this space.

Ely Cathedral Choir

Most of you will know this carol in a modernized arrangement. Here it is in its authentic modal, irregular metered glory.

Here are some of my favorite Christmas choral pieces. I will add more as we get closer to the 25th.

Peter Warlock - Bethlehem Down
Siglo de Oro, Dir. Patrick Allies

I have performed this piece a number of times, but never in a parking garage. Now, I really want to. It might as well be an outdoor concrete cathedral.

Ēriks Ešenvalds - Stars
Cantus

Here is a popular choral warhorse, in a stunning new performance. Oh, those sopranos! (The rest of the choir are no slouches, either.)

This may not be the most popular of Mozart's symphonies, but it's always been one of my favorites. This performance really nails the energy just right, in my opinion.

Mozart - Symphony No. 35 K. 385 "Haffner"

Swedish Chamber Orchestra
Nathalie Stutzmann, conductor

Here's some badass legitimately scary and violent music. I always play this for my students when I want to freak them out. It's a good thing they don't speak German though, otherwise I'd never get away with it...

Alfred Schnittke - Seid nuchtern und wachet (Faust Cantata); VII. Es geschah (It came to pass)

Malmö Symphony Chorus
Malmö Symphony Orchestra
Inger Blom
Conducted by James DePreist
