Today’s Seasonal Piece is another King’s Singers performance: “Born on a New Day”.
As with all their performances, the King’s Singers have a lovely tone quality to them. This song is also quite lovely. It is simultaneously relatively cheerful, nostalgic, and peaceful. I rather like it, and I hope you do, too.

Technically, although it is Christmas season, it is not yet Winter. I am going to ignore that for the moment, however, and share with you a lovely (semi) seasonal piece: Rutter’s “Blow, Blow thou Winter Wind”.
It is a lovely piece that deserves more attention. The flute part especially adds to the timbre quite nicely
Enjoy.

Anther one of my favorites is (originally) a “plainchant” piece: “Of the Father’s Love Begotten”.
This version is not (technically) plainchant, but it is lovely.
It also is easy to find in Latin, which makes it excellent soothing, not-as-distracting music.
I hope you have a good Saturday.

Hiya, Fluffsters!
I figured I’d jump on board with Fluffy’s series of “less common seasonal songs” with one I shared last year. It’s the “Christmas Donkey” song. Hence the title of “Christmas Donkey Edition”.
Yeah, about that title…
Wait. “They aren’t all good edition”?
Fluffy, did you change it?
I decline to state.
…
Anyway. Yup. Here it is again.
Enjoy!(?)

I am continuing the series on “Less Common Songs for the Season.” Today’s is another non-English song: Noel Nouvelet. I discovered this one last year, actually, and it has become one of my favorite less common seasonal songs to listen to nearly repeatedly.
There are two versions I am sharing today; they each have their own, separate feel.
The first is slightly slower, more mysterious, and beautifully haunting:
The other is another King’s Singers song version.
I hope you enjoy.
Have a lovely Wednesday.

I know it is normally bad form to interrupt a series after only a single day of it. However, this is absolutely worth it. Trust me.
A favorite music group of mine (Two Steps from Hell) released a Christmas Medley recently. (About two weeks ago, to be precise.) Thus, it is worth sharing.
It is made of more common songs. However, it is one of the best Christmas Medleys I have ever heard. (Possibly in part because they do not include “Silent Night.”)
I especially appreciate what they did with “O Holy Night.”
I hope you enjoy.

Now it is in the Christmas Season. Therefore, music recommendations are permissible.
To start off with, there is a beautiful King’s Singers version of Gaudete. What may make it even better for you is that it is not in English. Thus, for those of you who cannot work while English-lyric pieces are playing, you can still play this in the background.
Happy First of December!

The holiday season is almost here. However, it is not yet December 1, so I am not letting the Holiday posts start just yet. I gave a fairly lengthy explanation of that last year, so I will just direct you to that post.
I hope you have a reasonable Monday.

Hiya, Fluffsters!
So, yesterday, I got a new fuzzy blue robe. It is delightful. It’s a slippy, fuzzy, warm material. And fairly thick. And extremely comfortable.
It makes me happy.
It’s kinda like a blanket, but with arms. And done in traditional robe style. So if I want, I suppose I could feel a bit like a wizard!
That is, if Wizard’s Robes are ever this comfortable. Judging from pictures of them, I get the feeling that they normally aren’t.
But, yeah. It’s a lovely robe. I think that everyone should get a comfy robe. They make life more comfortable and stuff.
Have a lovely day!

Greetings, readers.
This is the second Fluff Post after the American Thanksgiving of 2015. There are also two more fluff posts to go before December.
This brings up the question: When are Christmas Music recommendations acceptable?
On the one hand, it is after Thanksgiving. From what I understand, that is often an indicator of acceptable times for Christmas music and decorations.
On the other hand, it is not yet December. December 1 is another reasonable time to use for a gauge of when it is acceptable to start Christmas Season Festivities.
I am as of yet unsure which way I fall.
What do you think?
