I think I like Bach’s Christmas Oratorio much better now than when I first heard it. It has some music in it which was later converted into hymns, e.g. the song O Sacred Head Now Wounded (usually more of a Good Friday/ Easter song), but it uses the same tune. The CD’s I have do not have the English printed anywhere so you have to go online for the original German translated into English. But it is very beautiful singing by the Kings College Choir, which is considered one of the world’s best choirs. Listening to their singing has helped me to appreciate hymns much more. This piece of music has grown on me in recent years. I have always liked Bach’s music even though it is not always easy listening, but some talented choirs have mastered it. 🙂
