Ah, the Big Day at last. Let’s pull out all the stops,
open our hearts and throats, and fill wherever we are with joyful sounds. What
better to do it with than “Adeste Fidelis”?
I associate this one with midnight masses, the anthem
that sends folks out bundling up into the cold night toward whatever their
Christmas celebration entails. What is love most about it is the descant on the
verse that starts out “Sing, choirs of angels.” That sucker just makes my chest
tighten, whether I’m singing it or hearing it.
Here are my pals at King’s College, Cambridge, doing it
for you.
Happy Christmas to us all.
