Nunsense

Following on from the couple of singing sisters (and a brother and a father and a mother) I shared yesterday, here are a whole bunch of singing sisters for you. I applaud these sisters for going with a custom cover on their record instead of going with a stock cover. Nice picture and that's a pretty cool typeface up at the top, may even be hand-drawn. Sometimes I'm attracted to the strangest records, even without the expectation of good music. Don't let me discourage you from downloading this one though, it's a good collection of singing nuns, and if that's your thing, then please download The Cistercian Nuns Of Wrentham Abbey-A Candle To Christmas (BRC Records SR-605, Stereo).

1. Let Us Go To Bethlehem
2. A Virgin Most Pure
3. Christmas Hymn
4. The First Noel
5. Bel Bambino
6. I Saw Three Candles Burning Bright
7. Carol Of The Drum
8. We Three Kings Of Orient Are
9. D'ou Viens-Tu Bergere?
10. Little Lord
11. Nowel
12. Little Baby
13. Currite Pastores In Bethlehem

    Since I have appointed myself the expert on religious orders around here, some info: "Mount Saint Mary’s Abbey is a monastic community of some fifty Trappistine nuns in Wrentham, Massachusetts. The more complete, formal name of the Order is the Cistercians of the Strict Observance, whose founding at Cîteaux, France dates back to 1098."

    Great cover! That red and black reminds of the album "Come Alive at Christmas with the Sacred Heart Singers of Ewen, Michigan". No nuns but still religious.

    I liked this one Ernie. When we, as the School Choir, had our Saturday Youth masses, one of our members would recite something before we would sing. This person was almost always one of the guitarists. We performed usually 7 songs during each mass. 2 selected by the Priest. 4 by us as a Choir, and one that was sugguested by one of our youth members. This one was always choosen from the suggestions we received. However, all songs were approved by the Priest.
