I thought it might be fun to post some Christmas music, and it seemed more appropriate here than on Ontological Investigations:
• Gaudete and Gaudete (2017). Commentators heavily criticized the artists for their pronunciation in the first video, so they made the second. I like the first more. The second sounds a bit oppressed. Both are excellent.
• Noël des enfants qui n'ont plus de maisons by Debussy. It's a bit of a somber tune for such a characteristically happy time of year, but what would Christmas be without at least one baritone?
• Noël des jouets by Ravel. Another piece by an impressionist.
• Ave Maria by Schubert. This is my favorite rendition of Ave Maria.
