Your Daily Dose of Christmas!
The day is here! Merry Christmas, and may the day be full of joy and warmth in whatever form is best for you!
Your Daily Dose of Christmas
Today it’s a Grab Bag of Christmas Music! In other words, stuff I usually feature and didn’t get to yet, and stuff I want to feature but don’t have a ton to say about it for now. This next is … Continue reading
Your Daily Dose of Christmas
I used to feature Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite here yearly, but a few years ago I added the entire ballet. And here it is, featuring the ballet and orchestra of the National Opera of the Ukraine. This is an utterly gorgeous performance. This … Continue reading
Your Daily Dose of Christmas!
Today, some Christmas-based classical music! We’ll start with an older favorite, the “Carol Symphony” by Victor Hely-Hutchinson: Next is Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s “Christmas Overture”. This is one of those “performances while distancing” that abounded in the high days of the COVID … Continue reading
Your Daily Dose of Christmas
It’s always interesting to see what loves we carry forward that our parents gave us, and which we don’t share with them. My mother loved musicals; she grew up with the great musicals of 1950s and 1960s Hollywood (my father … Continue reading

Your Daily Dose of Christmas!
We’re a week out now. The night is mustering, the longest night is approaching…but so, too, is light. In many ways. This is generally when I start posting my favorites each year, the repeat selections that live in my heart. … Continue reading
Your Daily Dose of Christmas!
OK, let’s go down a geeky rabbit hole! Today I’m posting a Christmas selection, if I can find one, from every singer who has ever performed the theme song to a James Bond movie! We’ll start with the glorious Shirley … Continue reading
Your Daily Dose of Christmas
I don’t know what the first Christmas song I ever learned was, but I’ll bet it was “Jingle Bells”. This song is such a basic old chestnut of the season that you wouldn’t think a lot could be musically wrung … Continue reading
