Naïve Old Fart 9,511 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I know it's not film music, but I always find that "You And I, Part II" by Fleetwood Mac is Christmassey.Also. I like to listen to "It's Yourself" by Genesis, at this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Excellent choice. A gorgeous hymn arranged with tasteful modern, kaleidoscopic harmony. It's an interesting setting. Half of the choir sings the original harmonization by Praetorius, while the other half suspends shimmering close voicings. Heard live in a generous acoustic, it's pure magic.

What do I do wrong?You can put a Youtube link directly in your post, it will appear correctly.But if you copy an iframe tag, then you'll have to check "Enable HTML" in the options of your post.

What do I do wrong?http://www.jwfan.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=21160I was about to post a reply explaining why YouTube links do not appear as pictures for me despite my following the instructions given in the FAQ (indeed, even with the specific video used as the example there), and whether or not I have HTML enabled. In the process, I discovered a way to get it to work.I have to use the "More Reply Options" facility, then enable HTML, then disable it again, and then paste the URL for the video.

Jay 37,336 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 No, you absolutely should not have to do that at all. I paste URLs of YouTube videos all the time and it simply works, even from mobile. As the instructions state you may have to remove stuff from the end of the url. Alternatively, if you are using Chrome, try Ctrl-Shift-V to paste, so it doesn't convert it into a hot link instead of a raw text paste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 As far as scores, the very end of TTT and the transition to the credits is extremely Christmasy to me. I think that was a very snowy year or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I haven't actually started listening to Xmas music yet, but it's coming! It's beginning to a look a lot like it... Most of my Xmas listening is symphonic/choral performances, mostly not film scores/cues but definitely some of that too. Then a healthy sprinkling of old pop/rock/jazz stuff mixed in. For rock Xmas music, I discovered The Ventures fun surf-rock Xmas album a few years back and I love it! Across all genres my Xmas listening is 75% instrumental or non-solo vocals though.

mstrox 6,649 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I don't usually start until Thanksgiving, myself. My Christmas playlist is 85% vocal recordings made between 1930-1990, 10% songs from Christmas specials/shows, and just a small sprinkle of more modern stuff. I think the only "film score" stuff are a few of Williams' Home Alone songs. Nothing symphonic for moi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I recently got a fan edit of the score to The Santa Clause. That's gonna be in my rotation this year for sure. Fun score.

Cerebral Cortex 3,357 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 For those who prefer, at times, a more bombastic musical experience for Christmas, I definitely recommend Delius' Sleigh Ride (not that Sleigh Ride). Prokofiev's Troika is another Christmas-time favorite of mine. Edit: Shit, didn't realize this thread was 5 pages long. These might have already been posted.
