The Swingle Singers Christmas Album

This is a fantastic Christmas album.  The Swingles' arrangements weave in and out, reminding you of a daredevil flock of birds who seem to be completely chaotic in their sky-carousing.  But they never clash, and you can see afterwards what a pattern had been there all along.

1)  Sleigh Ride
2) A Visit from St Nicholas
3) Coventry Carol
4)  I Believe in Father Christmas
5)  Il est ne le Divin Enfant / Petit Papa Noel
6)  White Christmas
7)  Carol Medley
8)  Audete Gaudete
9) Frosty the Snowman
10)  Christmas Song
11)  Rockin' Rudolph
12) Christmas Medley
  Winter Wonderland
  Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town
  Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

13)  Twelve Days of Christmas
14)  Silent Night

Evidently this is some obscure release, because I couldn't find a listing of this album anywhere, when I checked.  So this share isn't taking sales away from them.

By turns clever, humorous, and (sounding) worshipful, this is great Christmas music for anybody who wants their Christmas music in the foreground, to listen to.

    It's downright stunning! I've listened to most other SS recordings, and this takes the first place for clever arrangements and honorable performances.
