Last Carol Standing
Wednesday, December 24, 2008
“In The Bleak Midwinter” is the world’s best Christmas carol, according to a poll of leading choirmasters and choral experts from the UK and US. The song came out top in a poll conducted by a BBC Music magazine poll, placing above well-known carols “Silent Night,” “Ding Dong Merrily on High” and “Once in Royal David's City.” Oliver Condy, editor of BBC Music joins us to share the results.

YES! This has long been one of my very favorite carols...except it's the Gustav Holst melody I prefer.
That was *not* the Poulenc "O Magnum."
