Someone suggested that I burn some "Christmas music" by LvB for a friend. Of course, I am at a bit of a loss. Don't know of anything specific tied to Christmas, though one could of course choose any number of "right" mood pieces that might seem apt. Or the "Kyrie" from either Mass. Any thoughts?

Of course, if this was video, I'd have to put on the 1008 ukuleles playing "Ode to Joy" at Albert Hall

The "Gloria" from the two masses would seem to fit the bill. That's what the angels sang at the first Christmas (maybe, being angels, they were able to anticipate the Mass in C and the Missa Solemnis.)
There is also a short canon about happiness in the new year, or something. It's only about ten seconds long or so.Comment

There is Beethoven's arrangement of "Auld Lang Syne". Not Christmas, but good for New Year's, anyway.Comment
