Holiday music exchange.

[rivka]

(1) akirlu, jmhm, green_knight, and pecunium: If you want to participate in the exchange, please send me your mailing address.

(2) I think we're doing round-robin exchange groups of four, but it will depend on the final size of the exchange.

(3) In tonight's program, patgreene will be playing the role of mactavish.

(4) If you want me to try to balance the exchange groups so you don't get too many duplicate songs, post your playlist in the comments section here when you've finished it. I think the pool of available holiday music is small enough that some duplicates are inevitable, but I'll try to get things as nicely distributed as possible.

(5) Yay! Holiday music exchange!

Received your disc this afternoon

Dang! Where did you find Anonymous 4 and why haven't I ever heard of them before???

Gorgeous stuff. Has anyone in my group received mine yet?

Major thanks to Rivka for facilitating this wonderful exchange! And Rivka, thanks so much for the lovely tunes and laughter on yours - we did a Christmas cabaret every year at Syracuse, and a friend used to bring down the house yearly with "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas." I'm not sure I've heard it since. Great memories.

Aren't they great? The Ave Maria is from this album (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000007DY/ref=ase_anonymous4com-20/103-9426731-9031820?v=glance&s=music).

They also have a website:

I have yours, but haven't had a chance to listen yet. Thanks, the list looks fantastic!

Oh, Anonymous 4 is wonderful. I have a whole CD of their medieval motets and carols, and another called "A Lammas Ladymass."

I've received your CD, and I adore it. I love that that you included "Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming" - it's one of my favorites, and I couldn't find a recording anywhere on iTunes or my normal free download sites. And I love that version of "I Wonder as I Wander."

"I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" is a guilty pleasure of mine - I wasn't sure if anyone else would like it. It seems to be what people like best from my CD. :-)

I adore "Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming." It's one of those Advent carols that puts me right back in my little Congregational church in New Hampshire, bright light reflecting off of snow outside the windows that are old enough to be thicker at the bottom than the top!

If you don't have Chanticleer's "Our Heart's Joy," you absolutely owe it to yourself. It's delightful. I first heard it as part of an NPR show, and I sat in a bakery parking lot in Alexandria for about ten minutes, just listening.
