I have it especially at this time of year. My Mother was a Mezzo-soprano and soloist in a local production for several years when I was but a lad...
wow...nice..... i sang in the chorus in several performances when i was younger....and in the house where i grew up, and old record of it was played as the ham cooked every christmas eve...my dad would admonish us to be still and silent to listen during the "he shall feed his flock" section, which had been his mother's favorite.
she had admonished her children similarly, so the tradition goes back a ways....though, when my dad was a child, it was a victrola or the wireless.
now, i play the cd while my ham cooks. and i become still and silent and listen at that part, too.
