Christmas Music
on: November 21, 2010, 11:08:08 PM
Hey everyone. Happy Holidays! I can't believe it's here again. But, I am so happy. I love this time of year. Does anyone know of any good instrumental christmas music, Christmas music with just the instruments. Don't get me wrong I love all the cheerful classic Christmas songs. But, when I am in the kitchen I need something more mellow and soothing. Any suggestions?

Christmas is cancelled in my house.

No tree, no stupid decorations & no presents.

My place is also a Royal Wedding Free Zone.

Scroooooooge!

Well, I have to admit that I've never hosted a royal wedding in mine, either...

Perhaps, but you could host the Honeymoon.

I understand the happy couple like places out in the middle of bloody nowhere.

"Could" (if indeed you say so) but not "would".

Well, clearly you now them better than I do, so they'd surely be far better off consulting you than me.

I don't know precisely What Katy/ie Did but I do know that it is said that where there's a Will there's a way.

Best,

Getting back to the subject...
To me, Christmas (and I LOVE Chrsitmas!) is not Christmas without Handel's Messiah.
This would make another neat thread.  What music is "music to your ears" for each season?

I love the Christmas Season! I have a CD of The O'Neill Brothers Christmas Piano Songs, it's very soothing and relaxing.. You'll definitely love it!  Happy Holidays to all! :)

Thankfully, I managed to get to the stop button before the music started.

Incredibly, I bought a CD of this muck only a few months ago, but only because the far superior concerto by Rufinatscha was included.

Some 4:33 in the stocking?  "All I want for Christmas is some 4 3 3, some 4 3 3, just some 4 3 3..."

There's a ton a instrumental Christmas music out there.
