Christmas In July '24-Day 18
Today's post is brought to you by the letter 'W'! (For those of you that haven't seen it, go watch the Jim Henson documentary "Idea Man" on Disney+, it's great.) I've got three tracks today from artists whose names begin with the letter 'W', and only one of them is a rerun from a past year. Let's see what's in the pile. Up first is our favorite new group name of the year, The Wintersauce Chorale. Then there's a long dronefest from The Wind Harp, an actual aeolian harp that plays music as the wind blows across the strings. You'll either like it or you won't. Bringing up the rear is a rerun from The World Vision Korean Orphan Choir. Interesting selection today, I'll give it that. Enjoy!
1. The Wintersauce Chorale-George Guilbault, Director-Brian Marble, Associate Conductor & Accompanist-Ave Maria (Winters Are Warmer)
2. The Wind Harp-Winterwhite (Song From The Hill, 1972)
3. The World Vision Korean Orphan Choir Directed By Soo Chul Chang With Ralph Carmichael And His Orchestra-Jingle Bells (The World Vision Korean Orphan Choir, 1962)
Many copies of the Wind Harp cover online if you don’t like the quality of that one.

I suspect many folks will just delete that track so they don't care much about the cover. I think I read somewhere that a storm destroyed the harp used on the album. Imagine the noise that wind made before it was able to blow the harp down!
DeleteI thought I thanked you for the wind harp record, but I guess not. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt's OK, it's not very good, and it's really hard for me to say that about anything.
DeleteWow - that Wind Harp cut is really something. I wonder what their non-Christmas tracks sound like. (But not enough to actually listen to any more of them!)
ReplyDeleteThey all sound very similar, I don't think you're missing much. :)
DeletePretty sure that Wind Harp song was pulled from "The Shining" Christmas album.
ReplyDeleteYou wish...
