I need a Christmas song, Not the old carols, To sing at church.?

Question

I'm a Guy and i have a very wide vocal range. Any ideas?

Answer 1

How about Mary's Boy Child (Oh, My Lord)? Listen to a great arrangement of this song by Boney M. I think you'll like it. Or you might want to try Happy Christmas by John Lennon.

Answer 2

Look for a more unusual carol and before singing it give a short review of the carol's origin. You might try the Cherry Tree Carol or Carol of the Birds. Also, O Come O Come Emmanuel. O Holy Night does well with a Baritone or Tenor voice. Look also at Star of the East

Answer 3

Jesu Bambino, by Pietro Yann. He was the church organist in one of NY City's major churches for most of his life ( in America) This song is just about 100 years old, so it's right in there with the old stuff, but not many people sing it. For a good crash course, Luciano Pavarotti recorded it on one of his Christmas albums. Needa a good solid technique, and a wide range. Check it out!

Answer 4

We Need A Little Christmas?
Wait till late January or February to sing this one...tune...In the Bleak Midwinter.

In the Joy of Winter, look around the town,
Fancy scarves and bright ski caps,
Nice warm coats of down.
You can hear the sleighbells ring, in the crisp cold air,
Children with their Christmas sleds, laughter everywhere.

In the Joy of Winter, see the logs aglow,
Rosy cheeks and frosty breath, everywhere you go.
Skis and skates and Snowmen too, people are at play,
Take the time to see the joy, of a Winter's day.

In the Joy of Winter, I can still recall,
Carols we sang at Christmas time, How I loved them all!
In the Joy of Jesus' birth, love is here to stay!
Yes, I thank God in heaven above, for this Winter day

Answer 5

This is a VERY tough one--I have a difficult time finding REAL Christmas songs myself. In compiling The Hymnal for Worship and Celebration (Waco, TX: Word Music, 1986), the editors wisely included some (near-)contemporary songs in the subsection Jesus Our Savior: His Birth:

CHILD OF LOVE
(Tina English) Word Music, ASCAP

THE BIRTHDAY OF A KING
(William Harold Neidlinger)

ONE SMALL CHILD
(David Meece) Word Music, ASCAP

I have an original rock suite in the works that tells the journeys of the Christ from the Messianic perspective, but it is still in alpha as of this post; no estimate of when I'll have it in text form yet.

Answer 6

Good King Wenceslas is a wonderful song not often sung these days.

I would have listed a couple of lovely aussie songs for you but they are hard to get sound bite of. However, you could try this one "Carol of the Birds" or "Mary and Joseph's Lullaby"

Answer 7

Elvis Presley's excellent first Christmas album, ELVIS' CHRISTMAS ALBUM, looms so large in the public psyche that it is hard to fairly judge this album but taken on its own terms, Elvis Sings The Wonerful World Of Christmas is a fine collection of seasonal favorites that would be a welcome addition to any Elvis fan's stocking.
Elvis rocks, Elvis rolls, and Elvis is the King of Christmas tunes! The latest BMG Elvis CD release, White Christmas, showcases the King's greatest yuletide recordings in a particularly attractive way. The 25 tracks range from 'Santa Claus Is Back In Town' to Elvis' sensitive rendition of 'I Believe'.

Answer 8

Hey buddy,
every year some huge recording artist does a Christmas album full of the traditional stuff.

If you must stray from traditional songs, check out Alan Jackson's Christmas songs, you might like them.

Good luck

Answer 9

The song that spells out C H R I S T M A S . C,is for the Christ child,born upon this day. H for Herald angels--- R for our Redeemer.I for Israel etc.

Answer 10

What about Mary Did you Know- That is one of my favorite Christmas songs.

Or if you want something different:

The Perfect Tree (I think Ray Boltz did it)
