Adeste Fideles Performed by Andrea Bocelli and the Orchestra and Choir of Santa Cecilia National Academy, Directed by Myung-Whun Chung
From Auntie Beeb we learn that "there's a suspicion that O Come All Ye Faithful was a call to 18th century Jacobites to rebel" — BBC Two - The Truth About Christmas Carols. How cool is that? It is at least for us proponents of Jeffersonian Jacobitism, especially those hoping to revive a little bit of the glory of Jacobite New York (1682-1688).

This is truly great and glorious!
You seem to know how to elicit a response when I've been dormant for a spell. Things beer or NY related tend to work, and this rings home!
Cheers!
BTW - Do you think you'd be interested in that April conference @ Syracuse I've emailed you about? I think we could pull something together quick and easily if you are interested. Let me know!
I love this song. Perhaps my favourite hymn. It works in any language too. I love this English version by Libera:

Still, nothing tops the Latin. Thanks for posting!
