A Christmas Wish - Musical Interlude

Happy Christmas!  In the spirit of this season of joy and peace, here are links to some YouTube videos for your enjoyment.

"O Holy Night"

Sung in two languages by Pavarotti and Domingo.

A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices

For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.

"Do They Know It's Christmas?" (Feed the World)

The original Band Aid version from 1984.

And in our world of plenty, we can spread a smile of joy

Throw your arms around the world at Christmas time

"Prayer of St. Francis"

A most beautiful rendition filmed in Assisi

Make me a channel of your peace,

Where there is hatred, let me bring Your love

"Happy Christmas" 

John and Yoko's classic

And so happy Christmas (war is over)

For black and for white (if you want it)

For yellow and red ones (war is over)

Let's stop all the fight (now)

"Ode to Joy"

A flash mob performance of the song from the greatest musical work of all time, Beethoven's Ninth Symphony

Thy magic power re-unites all that custom has divided 

All men become brothers
