To Hear the Angels Sing

If you're running of patience for the same three Christmas songs that are played on loop on every radio station,  then I highly recommend  you check out some chorale Christmas music. Chorale Christmas music really helps me focus on what the holiday is all about- Christ!  

In concert choir we're currently singing what's become one of my new all-time favorite Christmas songs: an arrangement of "It Came Upon the Midnight Clear" called "To Hear the Angels Sing" and while we sing I can't help but smile! There's a section where we sing as if we are the angels, singing praises by repeating the word "Alleluia" over and over again. It truly feels like I'm in a choir of angels! Today, Sister Hall said: "That could have been us! Do you ever think about that? We could have been the angels  singing in the pre-mortal existence! I mean, who else? We're the singers of the world! Of course it was us!" What a glorious thought! 

I am so ridiculously lucky to be in this choir, at this university, studying the thing I love more than anything else in this world. I'm sure I sang in choir before this life, and I'm glad that I'll have the chance to sing His praises for the rest of this life and into the next one. "For  my soul delighteth in the song of the heart; yea the song of the righteous is a prayer unto me"  -D&C 25:12
