The good, the bad and the curious of Yuletide music.
published December 10, 2022
I learn a lot doing this Advent Calendar. For example, "Dali Caldis" who fronted the Ensemble behind today's entry is really an Englishman named Syd Dale. A quick look at his Discogs page suggests that his career in music was primarily devoted to so-called library music. This track, from the 1973 album Sounds For A Swinging Christmas, has "early 1970s groovy library easy listening" written all over it.
Listen to Ding Dong Merrily On High/Midnight Sleigh Ride.
Or listen on Spotify, where I've created a playlist for this year's Advent Calendar.
The Spotify playlist for all the previous Advent Calendars is here. Note: The playlist is incomplete, as some of my calendar selections are just too obscure for Spotify.
Christmas library goes pop.
