Musical Advent Calendar: Day Eleven

[carolinecrane]

Today on the calendar we leave behind the pop songs for awhile in favor of two versions of one of my favorite hymns. It reminds me of being a kid growing up in New England, where they sang the right songs in church and not the stuff they're singing these days. Get off my lawn.

Indigo Girls -- In the Bleak Midwinter
Joe McElderry -- In the Bleak

I now have four versions of that song.

Wonderful. I especially loved the Joe McElderry version...the pipes...they are indeed 'a callin'!

I hear you about the music in church. What's up with that? I'm very traditional (No! Say it ain't so!) and the rock/punk/god help us all, rap in church hurts my very soul. (The Catholics are still pretty traditional...I hang out there with Chloe. I may sing along. Don't judge me.)

Did you know you posted these twice?

(if you like the uber traditional you should give a listen to this by Harry Christophers and the Sixteen!)
