Advent hymns wanted
Dec. 4th, 2006 09:40 amIt's very easy to find Christmas music recordings, but you might be surprised how difficult it is to find Advent hymns.
Does anyone have a reasonably traditional choral recording of any of the following?
Prepare the way, O Zion
Hark! A thrilling voice is sounding
Savior of the nations, come
Rejoice, rejoice, believers
Watchman, tell us of the night
Come, thou long-expected Jesus (preferred tune is Stuttgart, but I'll take anything I can get)
Hark the glad sound! A savior comes
Comfort, comfort ye my people (not the aria from the Messiah but the hymn, which is sometimes called Genevan 42)
Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates (again, not the choral piece from the Messiah but the hymn, to the tune Truro)
Of the Father's love begotten (plainsong in four rather than three)
In return, I'll share the ones I do have a little later on.
(edited to add a couple more, because in several cases, after listening to the clip, I decided that what was available on iTunes wasn't even better than nothing)
