從小上教會的緣故, 幾乎所有的聖誕歌曲都朗朗上口.  最喜歡的是"Oh Holy Night", 目前手上有 Pavarotti & Charlotte Church 的版本.  並不是故意找碴, 只是 Pavarotti 的 Oh Holy Night 拍子太快, 感覺好像要趕著快快唱完好去拆禮物, 少了一點 divine 的味道.  
Charlotte Church 是我很喜歡的美聲唱法, 有虔誠莊重的感覺.  我自己也唱過, 除了聖誕節的獻詩, 其他在聖誕節的小型聚會也唱.  一般 soprano不會在最後結束前四小節拉高上揚, 但是正式的樂譜是有這樣一段的曲調.  就看場合是否需要.  如果事前開聲的準備時間充裕, 是可以唱上去沒有問題.  在這段 soprano 的表現, Charlotte Church 唱得很美!
也有一些另類的聖誕歌曲, 有 remix 版本, 也有老歌新唱.  一個 70年代很紅的黑人樂團 Boney M.  在1978年有首"Mary's Boy Child/ Oh My Lord"於全歐洲都登上聖誕歌曲的 No.1.   Boney M 讓人最有印象的歌曲是"Rivers of Babylon", 幾年前爲了 Mary's Boy Child/ Oh Holy Night 而特地去找 Boney M 的CD, 所買的就是"The magic of Boney M", 這張算是精選輯, 也有這首"Rivers of Babylon".
這樂團的 background singing 好聽得不得了!  有興趣可以連結到以下的 YouTube 去看 DVD.  就可以了解我的意思了!

Boney M. 在這首歌曲上最與眾不同的是整合 2首歌曲為一首, 深具感染力的節奏, 讓聽眾很想跟著打拍子或是站起來隨著音樂搖擺. 
全世界的原住民能唱能跳幾乎是與生俱來的天賦之一!

 
Mary's Boy Child/ Oh My Lord

Mary's boy child
Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day
and man will live for evermore because of Christmas Day
long time ago in Bethlehem so the Holy Bible said
Mary's Boy Child
Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day.
Hark now hear the angels sing
a King was born today
and man will live for evermore because of Christmas Day
Mary's Boy Child
Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day.

While shepherds watched their flocks
by night they see a bright new shinig star
they hear a choir sing a song

the music seemed to come from afar.

Hark now hear the angels sing
a King was born today
and man will live for evermore because of Christmas Day
hm hm
...
For a moment the world was aglow
all the bells rang out
there were tears of joy and laughter
people shouted let ev'ryone know
there is hope for all to find peace.

How Joseph and his wife Mary came to Bethlehem that night
they found no place to bear her child not a single room was in sight
and then they found a little nook in a stable all forlorn
and in a manger cold and dark Mary's little boy was born
Hark now hear the angels sing
a King was born today
and man will live for evermore because of Christmas Day
Mary's Boy Child
Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day.

For a moment the world was aglow
...
Oh my Lord
you send your son to save us
oh my Lord
your very self you gave us
oh my Lord
that sin may not enslave us
and love may reign once more.

Oh my Lord
when in the crib they found him
oh my lord
a golden halo crowned him
oh my Lord
they gathered all around him
to see him and adore.

Oh my Lord
with the child's adoration
oh my Lord
there came great jubilation
oh my Lord
and full of admiration
they realized what they had (until the sun falls from the sky)

Oh my Lord (well praise the Lord)
they had just begun to doubt you
oh my Lord (he is the truth forever)
what did they know about you.

Oh my Lord (so praise the Lord)
but they were lost without you
they needed you so bad (his light is shinig on us)

Oh my Lord (oh my Lord so praise the Lord)
with the child's adoration
Lord (oh my Lord
he is a persontion).
There came great jubilation
oh my Lord (so praise the Lord)
and full of admiration
they realized what they had (until the sun falls from the sky)
e just can't go wrong.

You've got the right combination for me

今天教會崇拜﹐正好有人獻這首歌(O﹐ HOLY NIGHT)。我覺得當他唱到CHRIST IS THE LORD時﹐真的唱出他的敬拜之心﹐讓我體會﹐聖殿詩歌﹐或是聖詩﹐心裡的虔敬最重要﹐最能帶動信徒也參與那樣的敬拜。

同意妳的看法!

詩歌原本就是因為感動而寫下來的, 無論唱者或是聽者, 都要先感動自己才能感動他人.
