Snowy Christmas

So here's a brief hello from the frozen North of England. I'm typing this one-handed because Bonny has claimed my right hand as her exclusive property...

She is uttery adorable, but very tiny. She's not going to get much bigger either. There *will* be pics!!!

Anyhow, today's carol is one you will all have heard, but I've been searching for this particular arrangement for weeks. The discordant chanting underneath is wonderful, but it's the descant that is a true marvel. Here is the London Cantata Singers with "I Saw Three Ships".

(unfortunately embedding is disabled with this one, and there's no visual.)

What a delightful version of "I Saw Three Ships"! Thanks for sharing this - I love it. *immediately saves to YouTube playlist*

I'm terribly keen to see your photos of Bonny (eventually). Don't forget to include one of her nomming your right hand ♥

It's the descant that absolutely does it for me. I've finally found out who wrote the arrangement (it's on my Dad's carol CD, so I had to wait to get back to Cleethorpes to find out) - Martindale Sidwell. What a fantastic name!

Photos will turn up. Promise. Though I can't actually promise one of her nomming on my hand 'cos how else will I take the pic?
