Angels We Have Heard.....

A little collection of Christmas music from a couple of United States choral masters.

Roger Wagner:  Here's their "Angels We Have Heard."

Next:  Robert Shaw's "Many Moods of Christmas."  (This one is derided by the 'haute smart' music crowd. mostly because The Deplorables love it.)  Arranged by R Russell Bennett.  This runs about 60 minutes. 

Finally, an older ('67) recording of ancient and modern Christmas music from Roger's chorale.  This includes Daniel Pinkham's Christmas Cantata, the least-appreciated piece of Christmas narrative music.  Happy to say that my little church choir pulled this off (well!!!) in the '70's.  About 40 minutes.

He Is Born!!
