Several of you mentioned the Trans-Siberian Orchestra in your answer to the qotd the other day. Today's offering is one of my favorites from their Christmas Eve and Other Stories CD. I hope you enjoy.

If you glance to the sidebar you will notice {if you haven't before} that there is a song waiting to be played and enjoyed. It has been my practice to change the song when the mood hits me. This month I am going to share with you some of my favorite holiday music.
Yesterday's song was Linus and Lucy by the Vince Guaradlti Trio.
Today's song is Dona Nobis Pacem by Yo-Yo Ma, a brilliant and delightful Cellist. Dona Nobis Pacem, a Latin song, most often sung as a round, translated means Give Us Peace. The words are from a Latin Mass. The round dates back to the 16th century.
I hope you enjoy as much as I do.
