What is a celebration without good music? It’s rather like having an exquisitely prepared punch bowl, filled to the brim with a delightful sparkling beverage and no ladle to serve it.
The following piece, “O, Beautiful Star of Bethlehem,” though not one of the traditional carols, is the inspiring and most famous composition of American, R. Fisher Boyce. Though it is less than one hundred years old, perhaps you will add it to your play list and help it become one of your family’s traditional Christmas tunes.
Here it is performed in a jubilant, “revivalist style” arrangement by the consummate all male soprano group, Chanticleer.

I love that song. One of my favourites.
Mine as well. Actually, I’m a bit surprised you’re familiar with it as its best known among southern U. S. Christians where it originated.
