Christmas music on records for all ages this year
UPI reports a variety of Christmas records headlining the season. The St Patrick's Cathedral Choir Sings Christmas Carols features 12 carols by a famed choir of 30 boys and 20 men. Paul Anka's It's Christmas Everywhere targets teenagers with familiar carols and non religious tunes. Peggy Lee's Christmas Carousel and Nat King Cole's The Magic of Christmas offer pop and religious contrasts. A children's choir titled The Sound of Children at Christmas by Hugo and Luigi includes 22 children. Handel's Messiah is highlighted as the best major release from Roulette. The piece is conducted by Frederick Jackson with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus. Keely Smith and other artists also contribute, while industry notes a reluctance to release more Christmas singles after December.
