my favorite has always been silent night
Those are the 2 that get me, as well. I'm surprised how many people mentioned "I'll Be Home for Christmas". Not to sound too corny, but "Merry Christmas, Darling" by the Carpenters always gets me, too.I'll be Home for Christmas is a big tear jerker too, but I LOVE "Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas" by Judy Garland.
YES that's it!! Thank you for reminding me of the composer!! I have seen Chanticleer many many times live at the metropolitan museum of art. (it was a christmas tradition in my family but recently instead of chanticleer we have been seeing the Tran-siberian Orchestra also cool) and they are simply amazing.Originally Posted by rapunzel47
That would be the one by Franz Biebl. Yes, it is veryvery lovely, and one of my favourite things, not just for Christmas.
I have heard them live once. As you know, AMAZING. I think we have all their CDs. As for Biebl, it's a favourite in our choir's repertoire, and on this year's Nine Lessons and Carols this Sunday evening.Originally Posted by vampcow

My choir director (also a Chanticleer fan) gave us a copy of that Biebl's Ave Maria for Christmas one year and so I got hte chance to learn it!it turned out good but just not the same....oh well my church choir is not made of men with perfect pitch!
