Welcome to our special Advent series - Musician's Advent. In this series, Christina will combine the practice of advent with a focus on how we as musicians can embrace the peace and hope of the season in the midst of the busyness that this time of year entails.

Each episode will contain an advent thought, a scripture, and musical recommendations.

Week 4 - Love: The Ultimate Gift
Hymn: O Holy Night
Classical: Ave Maria (Franz Schubert)

Recordings:
O Holy Night - https://youtu.be/V7uiqRCW6I8?si=6VoE7SHaOulR8yj6
This is one of my favorite recordings of this hymn! You really can't go wrong with Pavarotti and Domingo!

Ave Maria - https://youtu.be/tDQj7j-xogM?si=nyOzE1Gt48kewwG_
Barbara Bonney's recording is flawless!
