O Holy Night has always been my favorite Christmas carol, and I am so glad that it is on the Christmas cd.

Christmas Pipes is soooo good.  I also like O Holy Night and Let it Snow.  I hate to say it but I don't remember the other ones very well because I didn't listen to it very much at Christmastime (got it a bit late).  I am SO anxious for Christmas I cannot even tell you!

I forgot to post my faves...

O Holy Night (Beautiful - highlights their amazing harmonies, as well as each woman's beautiful voice!)
Christmas Pipes - inspirational, another chance to hear the whole ensemble.
Don Oíche Úd I Mbeithil (That Night in Bethlehem) - Meav and Chloe, amazing and ethereal.
The Little Drummer Boy (I love the chant, and Chloe and Orlagh sound beautiful!  A wonderful, unique arrangement!)

As of now my favs are  O Holy Night and Christmas Pipes, but seeing as Lisa has a new solo I'm guessing I will like that one too.

Okay... I typed this once about 2 hours ago and it deleted itself, so I'm trying again....

O Holy Night... Okay, this song is just one gigantic party of vocal power. The girls are just... WOW with this song. They perform it so powerfully. Plus, I love the "Oh night divine's" that Méav does.  ;D

Ding Dong Merrily On High... This was the first song I heard off of the album, and it's catchy, fun, and spirited. It's just a fun little number to listen to.

Christmas Pipes... How can you not love this song? It's so christmasy and happy and it has a lovely melody, and the girls really belt it.

Don Oíche Úd I Mbeithil (That Night in Bethlehem)... There are really no words to express how much I absolutely love this song. It's so beautiful. Méav and Chloe sound so good together, I really hope they do more duets in the future. Méav is obviously known for being the stunning soprano that she is, but some of her lower register shines in this song and I love it. She has such a beautiful tone to her voice when she sings the lower notes.

Oh, and the fact that it's in Gaelic gives it a one-up on the other songs.  ;)

The Wexford Carol... It's Méav, it has a beautiful tune, 'nuff said.

Let It Snow... Is it just me, or could the girls totally have a successful career singing jazz? I LOVE this song! It's so much fun to listen to, and you know they had fun performing it. Plus, there's that little Mairead bit at the end  ;)

I agree with vanni, I wish they would do  more Christmas songs, too!!!  They do convey the spirit and  beauity of Christmas music.  What a lovely way to wake up on Christmas morning, with our ladies singing on the CD player.

Title: Re: Your fave CW Christmas CD songs
Post by: McIrish on August 09, 2007, 08:30PM
By the way, it would be foolish of me to not mention my other favorites of 7/17 & 7/18,including Christmas Pipes,O Holy Night(watch out for Maeve on the last Divine,Lauren & Kelli,it will Bless you with exhileration!!(oops, forgot JE!) Don Oiche will bless you even more! The more you hear these Angelic voices in different combinations,the more you want to hear MORE!!! Lisa knocks ole Nat King Cole,(just a little,mind you) to the side,with Christmas Song.Maeve soars with Silent Night.Orlagh,Chloe,& Ray Nail Little Drummer Boy.They all ( as we would expect) bring the house down with O Come All Ye Faithfull as the Finale,but when we get to Let It Snow (?) Watch Out,The House Is Commin Down!!!!!  Mc

Post by: Celtic Lass on August 31, 2007, 12:50PM
*This is sorta off topic. But I am deciding what  Christmas CD to get. On amazon.com the Special Edition (the one with the ordiment) says that "let it snow" is a bonus song. But the regular one says that "let it snow" is on it as well. Though not a bonus. So my questian is, is "let it snow" on the non- special edition cd as well as the special edition one?*


Title: Re: Your fave CW Christmas CD songs
Post by: Celtic Liz on September 03, 2007, 05:07PM
I wish that they had done I'll Be Home For Christmas. Because that is one of my favorite christmas songs!!

Post by: rosie l on September 04, 2007, 08:16AM


I love "Oh, Holy Night "the best

Then:"   Come All Ye Faithful"   " Christmas Pipes "     "Let It Snow"

I didn't know where to post this or if it is ok to post this, but thought everyone might be interested. I stumbled across a sight called accuradio.com and checked out the various Christmas/holiday music channels and found Celtic Woman in at least 3 of them. They are Celtic Chritsmas, Season's New Releases, and Religious Christmas Classics.

Title: Re: Your fave CW Christmas CD songs
Post by: Kevin R.I. on May 27, 2009, 10:36AM
Let it Snow because of the way Mairead says it at the end.


Title: Re: Your fave CW Christmas CD songs
Post by: cool2it on May 27, 2009, 11:33AM
The Christmas Song has always been my favorite song. But when I tuned in that Christmas day and saw this beautiful lady with THE most wonderful voice singing it, I got a double whammy!!   What an introduction to CW that was!

Think we need to redo the Poll. GTWYR is my favorite but was not out when the Poll was done.

Post by: BrianH_2009 on May 28, 2009, 07:20PM
My vote is for Christmas Pipes if i could put it

I second that vote! My favorite song by far on the ACC DVD. "Don Oiche D I Mbeithil" is stunning too. "Little drummer boy" I love when Orlagh and Chloë appear from the pack of chorus people.

Post by: Kaneyoshi on May 29, 2009, 03:29PM
My favorite songs from the CW Christmas CD are "Don Oiche Ud I Mbeithil",  Máiréad with her Violin and Orla on the Harp is so beautiful  and "Let it Snow" :D

Best Wishes
