When i was in about grade 5 recruiters came to the school looking for new voices for a famous Choir, St. Michael’s Choir School in Toronto,I was asked to join,turned it down.Too involved in sports at the time.

Beautiful, but this is more apt as a theme song for the guttering remains of 2023…
SNS. That sounds so angry. Yeah, it fits the times.
The posted video above reminds me of my first radio job. My first shift included the Sunday morning religious music program. To me, religious music should sound like the King’s College Choir. The listeners did not agree. A listener called up and said “I like the music — I think.” I guess they wanted country music type of stuff.

If you don’t get goosebumps listening to that, well… all I can say is our minds are not similar.
The best Christmas music is timeless – like God himself – and among the best compositions on Earth.

“SNS. That sounds so angry. Yeah, it fits the times.”
…you want angry, there’s THIS one, where the singer is SO angry he trades upon an old Puritan belief that it is OK to COMMAND the devil (hence the verb “Ieubeo”) to do your bidding vs. praying to him or begging him, all so he can use the rage of the devil himself (under one of his 9000 aliases) for his own purposes…
…this was for an ancient and not particularly great video game, but the theme performance is pretty amazing for a CD-Rom game on Windows 95…

…but, if you want something a bit more uplifting that’s best suited for Catholic tastes but can be enjoyed by all, here’s a then-13 yo girl doing an AMAZING rendition of “Ave Maria” with the same conductor and chorus behind her as the “O Fortuna” above..
Nice!
