Christmas Carols - Then and Now
from Centrally Speaking · host Ministerial Staff at Central Schwenkfelder Church
At Christmas time, many will recognize that the church speaks about the birth of Jesus. As part of the celebration, Christians also sing Christmas carols. These used to be prominent in western society, but they are heard much less frequently outside of the church. In this podcast, we interview Sally House, the Director of Music at the Central Schwenkfelder Church and someone who has instructed about music for over 30 years in the school system nearby. We ask her questions about great carols such as "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing," "Joy to the World," and "Silent Night." Then, she discusses lesser known carols like "Of the Father's Love Begotten" and "Lo, how a Rose E'er Blooming." At the end of the podcast, she compares carols like these with what is heard in offices and department stores today.#Christmascarols #SilentNight #Christmasmusic2025 #Schwenkfelderchoir #UnitedSchwenkfelderchoirCentrally Speaking is a ministry of Central Schwenkfelder Church in Lansdale, PA USA.
