Ladies and gentlemen, let’s journey back to the heart of the 2021 Christmas concert, nestled amidst the stunning architecture of The Tabernacle Choir’s venue, featuring the inimitable Megan Hilty. The electrifying combination of the Tabernacle Choir and Megan Hilty brought an upbeat vibrancy that was much needed in the cold winter month.
The track "Christmas Is Coming So Deck the Halls" was an innovative mash-up. Crafted by Michael Davis, who once led the United States Air Force Band in musical triumphs, this jazzy tune exudes holiday charm and enthusiasm. Michael’s repeated collaboration with The Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square ensures that the songs they produce together are nothing short of musical masterpieces.
We're not just talking about any ordinary Christmas songs. These are two 19th-century Christmas marvels merged to create a beautiful new sound. “Christmas Is Coming,” a delightful English nursery rhyme, traces its origins back to 1883. Its Dickensian language paints a vivid picture of traditional English festivities. Moreover, its melody is intriguingly reminiscent of the evergreen "Row, Row, Row Your Boat." We all have hummed that tune, haven’t we?
On the other hand, "Deck the Halls," with its roots deeply embedded in a 16th-century Welsh melody, has its lyrics echoing 19th-century America. The intent behind these words was clear – to stir up nostalgia and transport the listeners back to the traditional British Christmases of yore. And did you know? The melody of this joyous song originates from a New Year's Eve dancing tune, usually accompanied by harmonious harps and gleeful singers.
Together, Megan Hilty's powerhouse vocals and the rich harmonies of The Tabernacle Choir transformed these classic carols. The performance was not just a mere act; it was an experience, recreating the magic of these songs for everyone present. And for us, as we read and remember, it feels as though we too were there, enveloped in the festive atmosphere, watching the lights twinkle and feeling the warmth of Christmas cheer.
The online response to the performance was overwhelming. Listeners from across the globe poured in their blessings and positive vibes.
