It’s Christmas time… again!
Yes, ASM is back for another look at the music of the holiday season! Last year, I took you on a trip through 25 (okay, probably more like 30) songs of Christmas and Hannukah, highlighting my favorites, and talking about several I dreaded to hear every year. But there are more than 30 songs in the season. So, why not a second movement, as it were, another helping?
As I mentioned in the Prelude, this feature was inspired by the Steven Curtis Chapman song, “The Music of Christmas”. But this time around, I’m taking a different tactic. I won’t be highlighting just more favorites and some horrid songs (although there will be at least three of the latter). No, this year, I’m going to talk about music that I may have discovered over the past twelve months. I may include songs that I used to not really like but have come around to liking. And maybe some songs are just so part of the cultural zeitgeist that I have to include them.
So, enjoy the More Music of Christmas!
Coming later today: the Christmas Queen is here. And, sorry Lucy, I don’t mean you.
