The M-G is voting for Hark The Herald Angels Sing.

Oh 'ark t' 'erald, 'ark t' 'erald!

 

Without a doubt! Although ear plugs are advised when standing next to anyone on that descant - and for some reason the pitiful bass section normally is!

Hark the Herald   ;D

Hark the Herald Angels.

With 4 votes to nothing, Hark the Herald Angels Sing wins and goes through to round 2.

The M-G's vote goes to In a Bleak Midwinter.

::) .. Of COURSE you would ... Anything with bleak in it's name I don't think you could stay away from, considering your choices to now...  ;D  And by the way.. Had I been home I'd a voted for "Mark... the angel with the facial disfigurement sings ;D

 

But for this round I'm goin for the celebration of the little tyke in a sheep feeder... That'd be Away In A Manger

Ok two dire choices

 

guess its got to be Away in a manger just 'cause it does eventually get interesting for the bass singers. Never really sung Bleak Midwinter and bit slow for me

Away in the Manger!

 

I luvs bass singers.  ;D

Meh.... :-\

Away in the Manger for me too  :)

Well, it looks like everyone was enthralled with those two choices...

 

Away in a Manger wins 4-1.

 

The second round is about to begin!

Faithful

I'm goin with Merry Gentlemen... It tells the Merry Gents to Rest, which is near to my heart. It also seems to me to denote the time past when Christmas was a season of debauchery, pirates in the street and much drunkenness and heathen activity... ;D

O Come All Ye Faithful

 

Just back from my old schools carol service (got drafted in to teach a whole new generation how to sing bass) and it sounds AMAZING with a drumkit and electric guitars behind it.

 

As does Hark the Herald Angels Sing, which i hope is coming up later...

It has to be O Come All Ye Faithful, my favourite Christmas Carol.

Faithful

O Come All Ye Faithful is a step closer to the final after a 4-1 win.

 

Next tie is going up now.
