Everybody loves a good Hallelujah Chorus, especially at this time of year. And if there’s anything more uplifting than listening to the most famous movement of Handel’s Messiah, it’s singing it yourself! But what if you’re a devout monk (I know, I know, but stay with me) who’s taken a lifelong vow of silence? Must you deprive yourself of this most simple and pure of Christmas traditions?

That is just purely brilliant. A big hat tip to my friend Susie Telsey (she’s the spangly bassoonist in last week’s Christmas music post, btw) for sending this my way…
I laughed, I cried, it was better than "Cats".
…it was better than "Cats"
That's setting a pretty low bar, don't you think?
I laughed so hard I burped!
(is that higher?)
dunno, i think "cats" was pretty great…
