By Request, ‘Angels We Have Heard on High’
This is from Mr. Duigon’s blog. It’s Christmas Contest time, so go to Lee Duigon’s blog and request a favorite Christmas carol of yours! The winner gets an autographed copy of one of Lee Duigon’s books!
I’ve tried to program this wonderful hymn to be posted tomorrow, while we’re out scrambling around to buy a Christmas tree and Christmas dinner before we get the torrential rains that are in the forecast for the next day.
Requested by Phoebe, the Christendom College Choir with Angels We Have Heard on High. I think you’ll be glad if you turn up the volume!
Oops. If I’ve done this right, “tomorrow” is “today.”
We Three Kings
Here is “We Three Kings” played on the guitar by José Feliciano, with a nice warm fireplace.
Here’s one by Mr. Munson with lyrics.
Silent Night – Japanese Version
Here is “Silent Night” sung in Japanese (with lyrics) by Ashley Serena. Please enjoy “Kiyoshi, Kono Yoru”!
By Request, ‘Ode to Joy to the World’ (Double Wow!)
Wow! This blew me out of the water! Reblogged from Lee Duigon’s blog. Enjoy!
Feel free to request some Christmas hymns on Mr. Duigon’s blog! It’s Christmas Carol Contest time!
Well, that left me breathless! Thanks, Heidi, for suggesting this: Ode to Joy to the World by the Piano Guys, plus bell-ringers, orchestra, choir, and a couple of heartfelt wows on my part.
If you look at the title and go, “Huh?”, just give it a chance. Just play the video, and prepare to be blown away.
By Request, ‘Hark! The Herald Angels Sing’
From Lee Duigon’s blog, Amy Grant sings “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing”. This is an important Christmas carol!
This rates a Wow, don’t you think? Hark! The Herald Angels Sing, performed by Amy Grant: requested by SlimJim. You don’t want to skip this one! Turn up the volume–Christ is born in Bethlehem!
The J&J Christmas Concerts
My brother, Jeremy, and I played Christmas songs for some people. Our first day of Christmas concerts was on Thursday, December 13th. Jay played the ukulele and I played the guitar.
We played five songs for each concert. Here are some YouTube samples…
{ J&J Christmas medley – 3 songs }
Song No. 1 – “Silent Night”
The first song in the medley was “Silent Night”. Here’s one by Il Divo.
Song No. 2 – “Joy to the World”
The second song was “Joy to the World”. Here’s one by Acappella.
Song No. 3 – “El Santa Pasa” (“El Condor Pasa”)
And the third song of our medley was “El Santa Pasa”. We changed the title of “El Condor Pasa”, a South American song, to make it into a “Christmas song”. 🙂 “The Santa Passes”… get it? Here’s one I found on YouTube performed with saxophones by the Christmas Band!
{ Sing-alongs }
Song No 4. – “We Wish You A Merry Christmas”
We also played some easy songs that the people can sing along with. We sang “We Wish You A Merry Christmas” together! Here’s Mr. Munson playing the song on the guitar (with lyrics).
Song No. 5 – “Jingle Bells”
And the last song we played and sang was “Jingle Bells“! This is a ukulele performance by Hoang Luu.
Praise our Lord God for giving us His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross for our sins! Believe in Jesus, and you will be saved!!
