Ever wondered about the profound significance behind some of your favorite Christmas hymns? Prepare to embark on a journey with us, your hosts Greg Thomas and Dorian Johnson, as we unearth the theological truths embedded in the beloved "Hark the Herald Angels Sing." We dive deep into its history, tracing its origins back to Charles Wesley in 1739 and its later transformation by George Whitfield. Along the way, we experience the wonderful arrangement by Samuel Tolbert and Greg Thomas.  Greg takes us on a musical journey with full length versions of some great choir Christmas recordings and live performances that are sure to get you singing and clapping right where you are. We take a moment to recognize and experience those  spontaneous occurrences in church worship services, particularly during Christmas services, that have left indelible marks on our hearts. We share a heartrending performance by the late Duanice Pace, whose music continues to reverberate even after her passing.  Looking ahead, we are eager to delve into the unique singing style found in gospel music. So, come, join us in preserving the beautiful tradition of choir and corporate singing, one hymn at a time, one choir song selection at a time. We're excited for this journey and always welcome your thoughts and ideas for future episodes. Let the singing begin! Glory to the New Born King, Samuel Tolbert and Gregory L.
