Christmas carol miniplayer on the bottom

[Godmy]

There is a miniplayer on the bottom of the screen now, you can use it to play a random Christmas carol

... you can always play one to make reading of some interesting posts more enjoyful.

This update will last only for a few days.

If you do recognize something [of the carols] you think may be harder to recognize / less known, leave a note here!

 

[Dumnorix]

Not difficult to identify, but the one that played first for me today happily was Angels We Have Heard on High, with that lovely refrain Gloria in excelsis Deo.

 

[Godmy]

But there are some more obscure ones! Let me know if you "uncover" them as well!

(I resisted the temptation to include some of the Czech ones as well...)

 

[Dumnorix]

I personally would be interested in hearing some Czech ones! Just heard Silent Night and O Christmas tree, so I will keep anticipating some lesser known ones.

Question: What is the little tune that runs 2:58? I've never heard it before.

That would be "Gaudete".

^the best version on Youtube by my count Not professional, but the best when it comes both to pronunciation and awesome high voices!

 

[Godmy]

I have just added 8 more carols (instrumental versions) to the player.

1 English (@Ukrainian) one - Carol of the Bells
7 Quite beautiful Czech traditional Christmas carols (without vocals, only instrumental)

One of 21 carols randomly loads into the player on the bottom as you load a page.

Be sure to check them out, before I remove the player

Gratias tibi ago, amice Godmy! Mihi placent carmina Natalis Christi!

 

[Devenius Dulenius]

Am checking it out now at work! It rocks!

 

[Quaeso]

When can we expect the carols (and snow) to begin?

 

[Godmy]

The Christmas is here! Enjoy the Christmas theme and over 20 instrumental versions of Christmas (mostly international + a few Czech ones) traditional carols. The chance of snowing is now 50%(!), will go slowly down after Christmas.
The carol miniplayer also shows a little number above it, that's the order number of the current carol... (so you can use it as a reference if you wanted to ask me about it ).

 

[Quaeso]

I'd like to know why Cicero is the only one with a hat. Would you give one to Caesar, too, please?

 

[Devenius Dulenius]

Well, Godmy's icon has a hat. That should count, right?
But, yes, Caesar deserves a hat,

 

[Dumnorix]

Yes, Caesar was supposedly very sensitive about his hairline and loved being able to wear a laurel wreath, so I think he would appreciate a hat.
