Carols from King's 2016 | #12 "It Came Upon the Midnight Clear" - Choir of King's College, Cambridge


I am re-posting this beautiful Christmas carol because the version I put up originally was taken down by the person that posted it on YouTube. Another ‘Christian’ who doesn’t understand Jesus’ message or Christianity! Let’s hope for better luck this time. – © Mark

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing | Descant: David Willcocks | Carols from King's 2021


I am re-posting this Christmas carol because the original version was nixed. Some so-called Christian, I suppose, who understands diddly about the real meaning of Christianity took it down! Let us see how long this recording remains up! Let us see just how Christian these people really are! Homophobia has no place in true Christian teaching. Ask yourselves one simple question: For whom did Christ really come? – © Mark

Carols from King's 60 Years of Carols from King's College, Cambridge (2014)


An amazing documentary broadcast on the BBC Christmas Day 2014. Features rare footage from many years of the Carol broadcasts since 1954 and revealing interviews with giants of Choral composing today such as John Rutter and Bob Chilcott, both past choral scholars at Kings. As well as an interview with Jonathan Willcocks son of the great Sir David Willcocks who will be 95 this year. An unbelievably good Christmas gift and treat.

'Only in the Chimney': Anti-Semitic Carol Causes Uproar in Romania


SPIEGEL ONLINE INTERNATIONAL: Advocacy groups are incensed after a Romanian government-owned channel broadcast a Christmas song glorifying the Holocaust and calling for Jews to be burned. The channel is blaming a local group for the performance.

Outrage has erupted among advocacy groups in Romania after the state channel TVR broadcast an anti-Semitic Christmas song calling for Jews to be burned in a chimney. According to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA), the song ran on a Dec. 5 broadcast by the rural-targeted TVR3 channel.

In the broadcast, a choir was shown singing a Christmas song that indirectly glorifies the Holocaust. The song, which rhymes and uses the word "jidovi," a pejorative word for a Jew, includes the lyrics, "only in the chimney as smoke, this is what the 'jidov' is good for."

On Wednesday, Romania's Foreign Minister Titus Corlatean harshly condemned the event and called on the public prosecutor's office and parliament to bring those responsible to justice. Israel's embassy said it was "concerned" about the broadcast. » | tmr -- with wires and reporting by Keno Verseck | Thursday, December 12, 2013
