New three song Christmas EP from Brian Sauvé.
Christ is King.
"Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence" is one of my all-time favourite Christmas songs. One of the versions I love best is Fernando Ortega's:
But to me, this haunting, beautiful hymn is optimum when sung a cappella. I was a part (lower alto) with a chorale years ago, and we sang this in our tours, without any instrumental accompaniment. Talk about giving one chills!
Yes, @Narnian78, Pachelbel's Canon in D is another favourite of mine. Its beautiful simplicity is striking!

There was a Christmas song years ago called "The Christmas Shoes", which reflects on a boy who wants to be shoes for his mom who has been sick and is about to go to be with Jesus.
"And this is the marvel of marvels, that he called me beloved."

This CD by John Rutter and the Cambridge Singers is so beautiful!
Wonderful choral music!
@narnian78 Truly wonderful. Back in 2008, when I lived in Melbourne, I was in a choir that performed Rutter's Requiem — one of the most beautiful and moving choral works I've ever had the privilege of singing.
"Now you are a lioness," said Aslan. "And now all Narnia will be renewed."
