Centuries of Sound Presents – Deep Magic: Christmas Recordings 1902-1924

This compilation of Christmas recordings spans an era which includes the entirety of WW1 and the influenza pandemic of 1918/1919, but of course you wouldn't guess it from the contents. The only reminder perhaps is the two different versions of "Silent Night", which was famously sung by opposing sides in the trenches at Christmas 1914.
I'm presenting this in two formats - a mix, which is on my main feed at centuriesofsound.com and as a compilation, which is only available to patrons. Join my patreon at patreon.com/centuriesofsound and get a load of bonus content like this, as well as helping this site to survive in these very difficult times.
Here is the tracklist, the same for both versions.
00:00 Harry E. Humphrey - Santa Claus Hides In Your Phonograph
03:17 Choir Of The Royal Court Opera With Orchestra And Church Bells, Acc. Harmonium, Bells - Silent Night, Holy Night
