I couldn't wait til December to start playing this ! ....thank you for putting it together, love the music and the images, beautiful...........reminds me of the winters and Christmases of my childhood.
Yes, as to the harp used for the Wessex Carol. Last year I accompanied an Irish friend with an untrained, natural voice singing this. Rustic, compared to the Cambridge Choir, but lovely and convincing in a different way. Merry Christmas to you, AntPDC, and looking forward to a new year of your posts that engage on so many levels. ruclips.net/video/B_Tb_slhuik/видео.html
Oh goody, a new Christmas carol I can learn and sing to myself this season. Never heard this one before. Love that third melody line. Love the images - you live in a snowy paradise- especially that wee red-breasted bird in the branches. Merry Christmas!
Thank you evan. It's funny - red post boxes in Britain have become a work of art almost: they just fit into the landscape somehow - are a part of it, just like old K2 Telephone boxes :). Street furniture as art indeed!
It is even more quietly and utterly lovely when people dont muck around and "arrange" it. This isnt the worst I have heard, but everyone seems to put their own stamp on it, when its far more beautiful when kept stark and pure.
I have been looking round RUclips to find what I think is the best rendition of the Wexford Carol, and this one is definitely it.
Shimmering and Beautiful.

Nollaig Shona! Merry Christmas from Ireland and thank you for sharing this beautiful carol with us.

This is one of my favorites, in my Top Twenty. Ireland is my second favorite foreign country.
Thank you for this. Beautiful music and compelling images.
Thank you HF. Is there an arrangement for harp I wonder? How lovely that would be!
Merry Christmas.

Thank you. The red-breasted bird is a British (European) Robin Marc (the "cock-robin" of the nursery rhyme "who killed cock robin"). Merry Christmas!
Pure serenity ~ thank you!
Merry Christmas mmb!
Love and peace to all this Advent.
Thank you, it's lovely!
It is isn't it Patrick.
Thank you Anthony, I was wondering if you’d upload recent snow fall scenes. The red post box in a buff stone wall amidst the snow is beautiful
