Florence Henderson sings an American favorite, The Christmas Song (Chestnuts roasting on an open fire). A video of the Italian Lyrical Choir during a rehearsal of Italy’s favorite Christmas song follows. The Metropolitan Handbell Choir performs Angels We Have Heard on High. Celine Dion sings her iconic Oh Holy Night.
Tu scendi dalle stelle (You come down from the stars) was written in 1744 by Alfonso Maria de’ Liguori, a prominent Neapolitan priest who was later made a saint.
This exceptional performance of the traditional French Carol performed by the Metropolitan Handbell choir at the Metropolitan Baptist Church rocks.
From hand bells to beer bottles. Oh my!
Merry Christmas.
