Christmas Music - New to Me

I sing with the Dundee Choral Union, which is a pleasure and a challenge, and Sunday evening is our Christmas concert.  The second half of the programme is the Bach Magnificat - gorgeous, but blimey, those runs!  And in the first half we're singing two pieces that were completely new to me AND I LOVE THEM!  In case you hadn't come across them either, have a listen to Saint-Saen's Oratorio de Noel - 


and Charpentier's Messe Minuit pour Noel -



Just delectable, I hope you'll agree.


(If by any chance you're near Dundee on 13 Dec. at 7:30 p.m., the concert is at the Caird Hall, with the Orchestra of Scottish Opera under the direction of Derek Clark.  It's going to be fun!)
