Personent Hodie

I'll make this one quick.

A song playing in my head frequently these days has been one I learned in high school.  I had forgotten the Christmas Carol until recently joining the church choir where we are learning some really cool music.  This is one of the songs.  Have a listen and then we'll talk about what the heck is up with this song!

 
 
 
This medieval melody is extremely old and I dig it.  Its origins go back to 1582 from a Finnish songbook of holy music.  The lyrics, originally in Latin glorify Christ and his birth.

Have a great Christmas errybody!
