Austin for Christmas. With Austin for Christmas, we decided to record a collection of half ancient and half modern songs. And by modern I refer to the mid-20th-century gems which have become almost as classic as the traditional carols. As it turns out, the songs in both categories go together beautifully. This owes a lot to Will's loving and masterful arrangements. His delicious jazz harmonies are delivered with a pristine subtlety worthy of a quiet firelit midwinter's eve.  We went for less is more: a classical guitar, a violin, a couple of violas, and an occasional trumpet line supporting the vocals. If any music is suited to this crystalline economy, it's Christmas music.  - KAREN MAL Read more about us on FACEBOOK and Here.

Chritmas Songs, Carols and Music Music samples from Christmas Music releases Hark! The stories behind our favorite Christmas carols America Media It’s the most wonderful time of the year! The cookies, the mistletoe, the lights...oh, and the music! For Christians, Christmas carols mark a season of hope and the celebration of Jesus’ birth. Even in popular culture, these iconic jingles capture a warmth, a cheer and a nostalgia that transcends religious belonging.But where do these beloved yuletide songs come from? What inspired the people who composed them? How did they become popular and even mainstream? And what impact do their ancient Christian messages have on an increasingly post-Christian culture?America Media presents “Hark!” a podcast on the meaning and the making of our most beloved Christmas carols and their time-honored traditions.  A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens Inception Point Ai A Christmas carol is a festive song, typically imbued with seasonal themes, that is associated with the Christmas season. Carols are often rich in history, originating from medieval times and evolving over centuries. They are characterized by their joyous melodies and lyrics that celebrate the nativity of Jesus Christ, the spirit of giving, the warmth of family gatherings, and the wonders of the winter season.Traditional carols like "Silent Night," "O Holy Night," and "Joy to the World" have religious roots and retell parts of the nativity story, focusing on themes like peace, hope, and divine love. Others, such as "Jingle Bells" or "Deck the Halls," are more secular, highlighting the merriment of the holidays with references to sleigh rides, festive decorations, and winter activities.The music of carols ranges from simple, catchy tunes that are easy to sing along to, to more complex arrangements suited for choirs and orchestras. They are often performed in a variety of settings during The night before Christmas Emma Hutchinson Share in the magic of Christmas listen to Granny Vonne who tells the traditional story of St Nicholas taken from a poem written by Clement C Moore in 1822. The wise old voice of a grandmother captures all that is family about spending time together listening, engaging with, and enjoying stories with a little smattering of music.One story out of three! Musical tales are a wondrous way of encouraging young children to vocalise, sing, dance and leap off into the realms of vocal exploration. Expect musical mayhem, instrumental excitement and lots of unexpected surprises!Thank you TNL Funding for supporting Once Upon a Song!www.musichouseforchildren.com@emmahutchinsonmusic
