Christmas 2009 - Pt 3
MERRY CHRISTMAS.
For Christmas I am posting instrumental music. Strictly speaking these are not all Christmas songs, but I think they all have the right spirit.
Off Yo-Yo Ma's holiday album from last year "Songs of Joy & Peace", here he performs "My Favorite Things" with Chris Botti.
From Chris Botti in Boston, here Botti and Lucia Micarelli perform "Emmanuel".
For a Christmas finale, here is a video with beautiful pictures and beautiful music, George Winston's "Carol of the Bells".

Hard Times Come Again No More
Not many songs have 100 years of recorded history. The song "Hard Times Come Again No More" does though. This song was written by Stephen Foster in 1854. For obvious reasons it was popular during the Civil War.
Foster wrote many other songs that are still remembered, including "Old Susanna", "My Old Kentucky Home" and "Camptown Races". But "Hard Times Come Again No More" is probably that one that is recorded the most today.
This song was first recorded in 1905 by the Edison Male Quartet. You can hear that recording here.
Mavis Staples recorded this song for a recent album of Foster songs called Beautiful Dreamer - The Songs of Stephen Foster. Here is a video that was made of that recording.
James Taylor, Yo-Yo Ma, Mark O'Connor and Edgar Meyer record the song for the album Appalachian Journey.
Here is an Irish version done by Dé Danann, with vocals by Mary Black and Dolores Keane.
And for good measure here is Bob Dylan covering the song.
