Christmas In July 2022-Part 14

Good morning! I'm back with more of the usual Christmas in July fun for you today. It's part 14 of our journey through the month, and if memory serves this is as far as we got last year (though that was in August). Rest assured we've got a little further to go still this time around, though not as far as some years past. Just hard to find this kind of stuff lately, probably from a lack of trying. Anyhow, let's see what treasures are in the pile today.

1. Angels And Shepherds by The Columbus Boychoir-Donald Hanson, Director from The Columbus Boychoir Sings At Spoleto's Festival Of Two Worlds (The Columbus Boychoir DB-63073 (Side 1-Sounds Of Christmas), Stereo). More from the boys of Columbus.

2. Glory Be To God by St. Olaf Choir-Kenneth Jennings, Director from Sing For Joy (St. Olaf Records E-269, Stereo). Dunno if I've mentioned this in any of the other times I've shared tracks from this record, but even though I pulled these tracks from a St. Olaf record, they originally appeared on a multi-disc set for The Book Of The Month club, with each side being a different college choir doing Christmas music. Pretty sure I have that one somewhere in the archives.

3. Alleluia, We Have Seen His Star by University Of Miami Concert Choir Under The Direction Of Donald Oglesby, Ricky Hardy-Organist, Pianist, Soloist-Zobeida Perez from Alleluia-Sing With New Songs (World Library Publications 7912 (Side 2: Christmas), Stereo, 1981). Lots of these choir things today, must be getting towards the end of the month.

4. Greensleeves by William Harrison from Easy Trumpet Solos (Music Minus One MMO 7025-29, Stereo). Still waiting for someone to add trumpet to one of these tracks. Probably going to be waiting a long time...

5. The Birthday Of A King by Gordon MacRae-Orchestra Conducted By Van Alexander from Hallowed Be Thy Name (Capitol ST1466, Stereo, 1961). A rerun, but a good one to revisit.

6. Waltz Of The Flowers (From "The Nutcracker") by Hal Mooney And His Orchestra from Ballet With A Beat (Mercury Perfect Presence Sound Series PPS 6017, Stereo, 1961). Another rerun, but a really good one to revisit.

7. O Little Town Of Bethlehem by The Choir Of The First Presbyterian Church Of Dearborn, Alexander J. Turco-Organist And Director from Carols And Anthems (No Label H-1496/1497, Mono, 1967). More choir stuff.

And now for the radio production tracks. We finally seem to be getting towards the bottom of the pile, they're not taking up half of the daily share.

8. We're The Center Of Everything This Christmas-Instrumental from The Great Christmas And Special Events Production Library-Disc 7 (Airforce Broadcast Services Disc 7, Stereo, 1984).

9. Mid-Winter Sale-Tag from New TTS Production Music Tracks #3317 (William B. Tanner Company 3317, Stereo).

10. Christmas Feeling B from Trendsetter Volume A Disc 6 (William B. Tanner Company TRS Vol A Disc 6, Stereo).

And that's it for today. Plenty of goodies for your listening pleasure. Enjoy!
