Question: Do you have a favorite Christmas Song this year?
For Christmas liturgies, I am moved by the tune "Of the Father's Love Begotten." I have also heard a version of "Lo, How a Rose e'er Bloomin'" that is delicately melodic. Has a particular song been important to you this year?
The one I keep hearing in my head is "Once in Royal David's City," and it was sung beautifully this Christmas Eve at Our Lady of Grace, Hoboken.
ReplyDeleteI love it when the first verse is sung by a child soprano.
