The opening movement of J.S. Bach's glorious Christmas Oratorio:
Jauchzet, frohlocket, auf, preiset die Tage,
rühmet, was heute der Höchste getan!
Lasset das Zagen, verbannet die Klage,
stimmet voll Jauchzen und Fröhlichkeit an!
Dienet dem Höchsten mit herrlichen Chören,
laßt uns den Namen des Herrschers verehren!
Triumph, rejoicing, rise, praising these days now,
Tell ye what this day the Highest hath done!
Fear now abandon and banish complaining,
Join, filled with triumph and gladness, our song!
Serve ye the Highest in glorious chorus,
Let us the name of our ruler now honor!
ELP did one of my favorites
This one works again! Merry Christmas to all the returning soldiers. Love this song.
I really like the above. My favorite newer Xmas song.
An oldie but Bing was great at Christmas songs for some reason. Which reminds me:
I remember watching that special with my parents as a little kid. It was as awesome as unexpected.
My Childhood Favorites, above and below:
Darlene Love is one of the great singers of all time but seems largely forgotten.
As I am from Jersey I am required by law to include the above.
The other Jersey Boy, Pride of Hoboken, NJ: Ole Blue Eyes.
Sadest Christmas Song Ever! I think Judy must have been a very sad person inside. It came through in a lot of her most famous music.
One special one involving Darlene Love again and dear to my heart. (My wife is Jewish) http://www.hulu.com/watch/1373/satur...-the-jews-song and as a bonus a shout out to another Jersey boy in Jon Stewart.
