Phil Kline's Holiday Mix

Phil Kline's boombox composition "Unsilent Night" has become a cult holiday tradition, played annually in the streets of dozens of cities around the world. From serious and spiritual to funky and fun, Kline takes up the DJ's seat and spins his favorite holiday music.

A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols

In 1918, the then-new dean of King's Chapel, 34-year-old Eric Milner-White, wanted to try something innovative and beyond the standard liturgy of the Church of England. So, he wove together scripture and song, called on readers of various ages from school and town, and made up this truly magical progression that carries us from prophecy to fulfillment, from Old Testament foretelling to a birthday celebration.
