Enjoy a
free MP3 from the Naxos album
My First Christmas Album.
Actually, as the title of the album suggests, it would be the little ones who would be mostly likely to enjoy it. It's an album of Christmas songs for children:
The ‘My First’ album series from Naxos is the ideal springboard for a lifelong journey through classical music. Each selection is carefully tailored for younger listeners and includes famous tracks as well as unexpected gems. The booklet is full of information on every piece of music. Unique and imaginative, these CDs will open a door to a wonderful world that children and parents can discover together.
Can you imagine Christmas without music? No singing, no jingling. Only Scrooge would be happy with that! It is a time for music to fill the air. Part of the fun is hearing things that are only played at Christmas and at no other time of year—carols that make you think of the end of term, or the holidays, or bobble hats; songs that make you think of food, or snow, or stockings. Here are some of the most popular carols, as well as some other surprises… Merry Christmas! (from

The piece,
Marc-Antoine Charpentier - Noels sur les instruments: Vous qui desirez zans fin, is performed by Aradia Ensemble. Kevin Mallon is the conductor.
I just got through downloading the
free piece (you can download it, too, by clicking on the link "Direct MP3 download link" on
this webpage). I enjoyed it, too; 'course I'm just really a big kid at heart.
Look for another free piece from YourClassical tomorrow (Wednesday).
