Terence P. Minogue & American Voices

All the Bells on Earth

Let’s celebrate Christmas! These songs from the heart are old and new to take us through the season from different points of view. All the Bells on Earth presents three special aspects of Christmas:

1. Winter Dreams/Christmas Morning. The dreamlike poetry of "Let All Mortal Flesh" gives way the elation of "I Saw Three Ships." It is followed by "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" and the Celtic Carol "Tell Shepherds."

2. Beggars & Kings. "Good King Wenceslas," tells a story of how we should go to the poor and offer help, while "The Beggars' Carol," tells the story of how the poor come to us. An amazing vocal performance highlights the touching song "A Silver Star" to help us find compassion for those around us.

3. Carols & Sleigh Bells.  "Christ Was Born On Christmas Day" is traditional, while "My Crazy Family" is modern. Aren't all of our families a bit odd to others?  "You Can Hear Christmas Bells (In Your Heart)" reminds us that we can find the happiness of Christmas that we used to know. It is there within us.

So fill a cup with eggnog, sit by the fire, and enjoy!
