Vocal Works
Here is a return of a Vocal Works feature introduced in 2022
─ collections of Christmas music.
Most of the songs below were sung in church
─ or could be sung in church (with just a few exceptions). You can
play or download any of them by clicking on the purple codes. Or
if you would like a nearly continuous hour of this music, click the link
below each list.
The idea behind Program #1 was to
give a sort of chronology of the Christmas story. Program #2 has a
greater emphasis on the coming of the Christ than on the birth of Jesus.
And Program #3 presents some very different styles and some unusual
perspectives on Christmas.
If you happen to be a donor to
Vocal Works, I'd be happy to put any (or all) of these programs on CDs
and mail them to you.
