Author: Leslie Shephard.Photographer: John Vachon.Arranger: Marion
Hicks.Though they often get overlooked in the holiday blitz of Bing
Crosby's "White Christmas," Brenda Lee's "Rockin' Around the Christmas
Tree," and the Beach Boys' "Little Saint Nick," there are few holiday
treasures more satisfying than traditional Christmas carols. Pete
Seeger's 1967 collection of yuletide traditionals, simply titled
TRADITIONAL CHRISTMAS CAROLS, is one of the best. Seeger sings these
tunes alone, accompanying himself on banjo and guitar. Some of them are
hundreds of years old, and they're rendered with grace and reverence.
From familiar tunes like "The First Noel" and "What Child Is This?" to
more obscure carols like "Lo How a Rose E'er Blooming" and "12 Gates to
the City," Seeger's choices are exquisite. The two versions--vocal and
instrumental--of the lovely "Carol of the Beasts" are as beautiful as
holiday sings get.
