What are you listening to right now?

Christmas song (“Mele Kalikimaka”)


First I listened to the Christmas song which Geoff Castellucci posted this year, but after that I listened to “Mele Kalikimaka” which he posted two years ago and I liked it more than the first one.
 
I’m happy to see contemporary children looking like this and singing such songs 😍


The name of the song is “The Winged Swing”
 
Proud Mary by Queen Tina Turner, live version: https://youtu.be/TTfYnRQgKgY
I usually put it on after rough day at work and boy, did today kick my behind in a fashion suitable for year end lol.
And bunch of Kennedy Center Honors tributes. Which inspired probable musical choice of tomorrow party-for-one, being Santana's Supernatural album :)
 
When I was watching the TV pictures of all the baggage stacking up because of the Southwest Airlines flight cancellations, I thought of one of my favorite Monte Python songs: I'm So Worried: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvzCuJUqqvw. I think it would be good music for Riku and Ryuichi to skate an exhibition number to after their experience trying to get to Japanese Nationals. (My wife was English and I have flown into Heathrow quite a few times.)

We saw the "Tina!" show on the National Tour earlier this month. Just fabulous!
 
Latvian Pianist Vestard Shimkus plays “Nyah” by Hans Zimmer … big question: does it sound better on piano or guitar?
Chan & Howe’s SP music..



Guitar

^ I'll have to compare it to the guitar version, but I do like it on piano!

The complete Carmina Burana - The Philadelphia Orchestra conducted by Eugene Ormandy. We're attending a perfomance of Carmina Burana tomorrow afternoon (by the Opera Company of Philadelphia). My husband is familiar with "O, Fortuna," but I wanted him to hear the entire cantata before tomorrow's performance.

What fun; enjoy!
 
Since @iluvtodd mentioned Carmina Burana, I wanted to share my favorite part: a drinking song called "While We Are In the Tavern" ("In Taberna Quando Sumus"). It's 100% worth a listen; if you do, please also watch the lyrics/subtitles for maximum enjoyment.

The crowd in the bar is fairly sober as the piece begins. However, that doesn't last very long and things get going big time around 1:40-1:45. You can almost see the steins waving and beer foam flying through the air!:party2:

❤️ an all male choir!!

speaking as a soprano, I feel deprived. Us girls wanna have fun, too! :biggrin:

Still, since the "In Taberna" text is from the 11th-12th centuries -- when respectable women couldn't even set foot in a bar -- it does make sense that Orff scored it for men only. And my frustration aside, the Cologne Men's Choir sounds wonderful in the video. :clap:
