Christmas In July 2019-Part 67

Good morning, happy Saturday!  Ready for the next ten Christmas songs?  Good!  Let's get started, shall we?

1. Wesley Dalton-Panis Angelicus from Echoes Of The Crucifix From The Catholic Shrine, Indian River, Michigan-Volume 1 (The Catholic Shrine, Indian River, Michigan PR4M-3279/80, Mono, 1963).  Well, I had to start today off with something.

2. Andre Kostelanetz And His Orchestra-White Christmas (From "Holiday Inn) from Music Of Irving Berlin (Columbia CL 768 (Reissue of Columbia Masterworks ML 4314, 1950), Mono, 1955).  Gotta check every tribute record to Irving Berlin.  Many of them feature something I can share here.

3. William Harrison, Pianist-March Of The Toys from Familiar Themes And Easy Classics-Music Minus One Flute (Music Minus One MMO 7035-39, Stereo).  I keep posting these songs that are missing their flute sections, and not one of you has yet contributed a version with added flute.  Disappointed, I am.

4. Redlands High School Concert Choir And Chamber Singers-Wilbur H. Schowalter, Director-On This Good Christmas Morn from 1972-1973 Redlands High School Concert Choir And Chamber Singers (Custom Fidelity CFS-3256, Stereo, 1973).  I don't think we've heard from Redlands in a few days, have we?  Not sure how much music I have from them.

5. Unknown Artist-Rockin' Christmas Eve from Hal Leonard Presents Choral Spectrum 1990-Senior Edition (Hal Leonard Publishing Corporation 2xLP HLP-60, Stereo, 1990).  This demo recording may be trying to steal a little thunder from Dick Clark.  I wonder if he sued?

6. Unknown Artist-Sing Gloria from Choral Celebration Vol. V (Jenson Publications JP-4000, Stereo, 1983).  Two demos in a row.  It's late in the season, I'm getting desperate.

7. Will Glahé-The Skaters Waltz from Focus On Phase 4 Stereo (Decca (UK) Phase 4 BPS 1, Stereo, 1968).  Another track from Will Glahe.

8. Buddy Merrill-Snowbird from Steel Guitar Country (Accent ACS 5036, Stereo, 1970).  Tired of this one yet?  I know I am.

9. First United Methodist Church Concert Handbell Choir-James A Kruse, Director-What Child Is This from 1972 Festival Program (Mark MC-5019, Stereo, 1972).  More, more, more handbells!

10. The Young Americans-Conducted By Milton C. Anderson-Winter from The Young Americans Presented By Johnny Mathis (Mercury SR 61023, Stereo, 1965).  No sign of Johnny Mathis on this track, I'm afraid.

And that's it for now.  Here's the download link.  See you later if I can get my act together and post something.

  1. I liked the Panis Angelicus back in the Latin Rite days, but it doesn't have anything to do with Christmas. It's from the Feast of Corpus Christi.

    Thanks for the Kostelanetz, though!

  2. Some days, I'm tempted to use any song with the word angel in the title. That would really open up my options. :)
