Musical Advent Calendar Christmas Day Bonus

My Mission: One holiday-themed, non-carol song every day between now & Christmas. It's my own version of an Advent calendar. I may succeed, I may fail, but there will at least be some good music posted ... music you won't hear at the mall, that hopefully won't make you end up looking like him. ----->

Christmas Day Bonus: "This Little Babe" from A Ceremony of Carols by Benjamin Britten. (A Ceremony of Carols was written for treble voices and harp; this movement is based on a text from the late 16th century.)
