Christmas Song #5 Coming Tomorrow…
For four years now, this being the 5th, I have done a deep dive into a Christmas carol, over a series of posts. And I’m here to keep up the tradition one more time!
The first two were candidates for the greatest Christmas song of all time:
And then, an unusual one, but a personal favourite – It Came Upon The Midnight Clear
And last year, a candidate for the oldest Christmas carol – Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence
It all began with my disgust at hearing lists of “the greatest” Christmas songs that ignored the great songs based on the birth of the Christ Himself.
Tomorrow we’ll get into another carol – a familiar one, and another one of my favourites. But with origins that are very unusual. It started as a single word – progressed into a hidden code – well, we’ll talk about that when the time comes.
