Christmas In July 2019-Part 5
Hello and welcome to day three, part five! It's a little confusing, I know, but the downloads are numbered so you'll be able to tell if you've missed one or two. And hopefully the shares will stay up for a while this time, I had to break down and get a paid account with MEGA, so we'll see how long I can keep that active. But don't dally, you never know when something might get yanked. On to the shares!
1. The Combined Choirs Of St. Mary's Visitation Church, Dickson City, Pa.-Pójdźmy Wszyscy Do Stajenki-Let Us Hasten To The Manger from the LP Midnight Mass At St. Mary's (Dub Recording Company D.D. 1155/1156, Mono, 1965). Don't think I've shared any Polish Christmas carols with you before, at least not during Christmas in July. I had lots of international Christmas releases during Christmas proper last year.
2. Kay Lande, Alan Cole And The Carillon Singers-Seasons from About, Volume 1 (Columbia-Children's Record LIbrary CR 21533, Mono). I've shared this one with you before, but it was on a much smaller label than Columbia. Not sure who licensed it from who, but you get to hear it again.
3. The Chipmunk Song by Billy Vaughn And His Orchestra from Golden Hits (Dot SLP 25201, Stereo, 1959). Yep, it's the Chipmunks Christmas song, easy listening style!
4. The Ringers On-The-Green-Deck The Halls from Ring And Sing-A Festival Of Music (Dharma GFL 1077 (Morristown, New Jersey), Stereo). A rerun, but any chance to put some handbells in the share and I'll take it! I've actually got another album from this same church and it's various groups that I'll start sharing from soon enough.
5. Vincent Lopez And His Orchestra-Doll Dance from the album Nola And Other Piano Instrumentals (Carlton STLP 12/302, Stereo, 1959). Not really Christmas, and a rerun, but I found a nice copy of the LP and figured why not.
6. Harlan Rogers And Smitty Price-Jesu, Joy Of Man's Desiring from Timeless-Hymns In Colour (Colours/Maranatha! Music SPCN 7-100-16182-7, Stereo, 1986). This is from the same series as that odd version of O Come All Ye Faithful yesterday. Is the sound funny on this one, too? At least it sounds like the tune it purports to be!
7. Bob Taylor's One Way Singers-Let There Be Peace On Earth from I Knew Jesus Before He Was A Superstar (Tri-State Recording Company TSRC-734253, Tacoma Church Of God, John Exum Parkway, Johnson City, Tenn., Stereo). Not sure of the year on this one, but I'd bet money it's from the Seventies. I mean come on, I knew Jesus before he was a Superstar?
8. Unknown Artist-Let's Go Get Our Christmas Tree from Best Of '78 Choral Music (Jenson Publications JP3-003, Stereo, 1977). I know it's just a quickie demo, but I like it. I was humming it for days after I recorded it.
9. Bel Melodia Choir (Grades 1-2)-Catherine Payn, Conductor-The Little Grey Donkey from O, Clap Your Hands (Dharma GFL 1057 (Morristown, New Jersey), Stereo). Cute.
10. Bells Of Grace-Robert L. Neumann, Director-Mrs. Fred Wilson, Organist-O Come, O Come Emmanuel from Bells Of Grace (Lane Recording 25779/25780, Stereo, 1969). MOre handbells? Wow, you folks sure are hitting the jackpot today! And I've got to try and spread these treasures out a little better, I've got a lot of shares to get through.
That's it, ten and done. Got things to do and people to see, so without further ado, here's a download link for you. See you soon!
Good variety here, too!
ReplyDeleteDon’t all handbell records sound alike? For all I know, you could only have one handbell record that you keep posting under different names.
Start to finish, part 5 s is an excellent compilation. The Billy Vaughn Chipmunk song was exactly what I expected, and that's a good thing. And keep bringing all those hand-bell, music-box, and carillon selections to the blog. There are enough subtle differences that make each one unique and enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteHappy Independence Day, my old friend!
I kinda like being able to share so many tracks at once. It's almost like a whole album. I should be taking the time to sequence each one and give it some flow, but I'm not, I'm just grabbing whatever catches my eye at the moment, and trying to make sure I spread things out from the same artist and not duplicating any titles.
ReplyDeleteLet's Go Get Our Christmas Tree was by far my favorite of this group. I was grinning ear to ear listening to that one. I also very much enjoyed Billy Vaughn’s Chipmunk Song and The Ringers On-The-Green. I really liked the arrangement on that one much to my surprise since handbells are usually not high on my list. Another great share!
ReplyDeleteThe Christmas tree song is probably the best of the many demo recordings I've shared this year. Maybe I should have waited until later in the season to share it out.
