Alison Krauss and Yo-Yo Ma perform “The Wexford Carol”
I always try to put this up each Christmas season, as The Wexford Carol is one of my favorite Christmas carols, and I love this arrangement by Alison Krauss and Yo-Yo Ma.
I also think…that with a week left to go until the Christmas…we kind of need a moment to pause to remember why we do all this.
Enjoy!

I love Alison Krauss’ voice! And aren’t the bagpipes wonderful too! Lovely!
What a lovely rendition! The perfect thing to start my day. Thanks so much for sharing this, Elizabeth!
Thanks for sharing this! What a terrific way to start the day.
Wow, this is stunning. The cello is my favorite stringed instrument, and this combo of voice and strings is spectacular.
I love this. I could listen to it all day and feel so at peace in this hectic season.
Thank you for that moment of contemplation.
I like Alison Krauss and Yo-Yo Ma too (two freakishly talented people), but my personal favourite Christmas song is still Tim Minchin’s ‘White Wine in the Sun’. It is not religious but very sentimental.
Thank you.

Lovely. Thanks for sharing. Preparing the way is what the Advent season is all about. A time to reflect and make ready.
