Monday Music: Everything Waits to be Noticed

A delightful discovery from a few years back. The song is by Art Garfunkel and is the title track from the album "Everything waits to be Noticed." The album, released in 2002, was Garfunkel's ninth solo album and his debut as a songwriter. He forms a pleasing trio with singer-songwriters Maia Sharp and Buddy Mondlock.

In the Bleak Midwinter

On this, the first Sunday of Christmastide, the fourth day of Christmas, listen to the beautiful carol sung by the Gloucester Cathedral Choir. "In the Bleak Midwinter" is a superb combination of the poetry of Christina Rossetti and the music of Gustav Holst. The video presentation is magnificent. Watch for the impromptu representation of "only his mother in her maiden bliss, worshiped the Beloved with a kiss."
