Before I go further into what Christmas is, I've been caught short a few times now, trying to explain what an ideal Christmas is to me, you see, I love the carols with choir. In its entirety, Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass, with strong dynamics, together with an ochestra, in a cathedral lined with stained glass, to the smell of fresh incense, with angelic voices that reverberate through the halls, lit by candles, attended by families, and loved ones. A glimpse of glory.
It is to me like a glimpse of the moment when Christ was born, and the heavens reveal the night sky, full of the hosts of angels, singing. And I believe since that time, men, have tried to imagine what it looks and feels like on the very night when Christ was born.
Adelaide is the home of the AMEB, the equivalent to England's ABRSM. I'm sure the music here is great. But where will you be this Christmas?
And of course, for those who can't quite understand my boring musical taste, I also like this.
