Now that our admin doesn't seem to find the time to organise it, here's something to play with the next week: Ottmar's Christmas songs. I don't want to single all songs down + Christmas is more about peace to florida-ise it, so I thought that maybe everybody could pick out the onetwothree songs published that he likes most. First I give you the songs:
deck the halls (poets + angels)
angels we have heard on high / high on hope (poets + angels)
poets + angels (poets + angels)
little drummer boy / luna negra beat (poets + angels)
1st nowell (poets + angels)
sheperd's nite watch (poets + angels)
away in a manger / island x'mas (4 bok yun) (poets + angels)
festival (of 7 lights) (poets + angels)
jingle bells (poets + angels)
o x'mas tree (4 anna + barthelomäus) (poets + angels)
starry nite (march of kings) (poets + angels)
morning glory (poets + angels)
silent nite (poets + angels)
we 3 kings (of orient r) / santa fe x'mas (poets + angels)
o holy nite (poets + angels)
santa dancing / deck the halls (christmas + santa fe)
celebration / god rest ye merry gentlemen - 4 gary (christmas + santa fe)
holiday buleria / greensleeves (christmas + santa fe)
dig the wonderland / winter wonderland (christmas + santa fe)
snow white / silent night (christmas + santa fe)
canyon road on christmas eve / hark the herald angels sing (christmas + santa fe)
farolitos on garcia / it came upon a midnight clear(christmas + santa fe)
michelle's song / the holly and the ivy (christmas + santa fe)
winter solstice (christmas + santa fe)
o sanctissima / oh du fröhliche - 4 ottokar (christmas + santa fe)
the 3rd man / o christmas tree - 4 barthelomäus, my grandfather (christmas + santa fe)
peace / i saw three ships (christmas + santa fe)
snow angel / we wish u a merry christmas - 4 kelly(christmas + santa fe)
le cafe (1001 christmas nights)
I tell you my three favourites. First I'm absolutely hooked on Le Cafe. I wish the upcoming Christmas album contains some more songs alike (to catch the "Opium" vibe, as OL said), but I doubt. Le Cafe is of course a song that works beyond Christmas. You can place it right next to Cocteau what the atmosphere is concerned. But of course it is from the Nutcracker and therefore beautiful music in wintertime. I listened to it a lot when I was working in the deep heart of Spain in a building from the time of the Spanish baroque. I still connect it with such surroundings.
Caused by the game in OL's IN journal, I some weeks ago dived a bit more into "Christmas + Santa Fe". For me this is the Christmas album (up-to-date) if I had to chose one. There exist some nice and calm bavarian + austrian singings, e.g. Silent Night is of Austrian origins and is best to imagine in a small chapel, stony floor, wooden banks to sit on, straw inside the chapel in a snowy winter wonderland in the mountains sung by tender voices. But mostly the Christmas music in my region is like too much sweet marmalade put on a thin slice of bread.
I like the Holiday Buleria from that album a lot, think it's because it goes away from a traditional song so much and is what it's called, a bulerias.
But besides Le Cafe, I'd pick Winter Solstice (an own composition, so calm, so tender, a musical caress) and Snow Angel.
Snow Angel corresponds with Angel: Omnia bona bonis from Little Wing but has developped a life, a character on its own. One word for this song: love.
I'm not much into Poets & Angels, I have to admit.
