Ave Maria (Biebl)
This is one of my all time favorites. The first time I heard this, after purchasing a CD, I immediately purchased copies for some family members, I was just so blown away.
Originally a Gaelic carol, this carol is from the Outer Hebrides Islands:
It was translated into English in 1855 (“Christ Child’s Lullaby”):
This brings back memories … both of my being a kid and dying to get to the gifts, and having our own kids waking us because they couldn’t stand waiting any longer.
These days we end up waking them up! Funny how it goes.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
