"Frohliche Weihnachten" Blue Amberol translation request
Posted: Fri Nov 30, 2018 9:05 pm
Hello All:
I came across this German Blue Amberol Christmas recording, from Berlin, 1910, of a childrens' choir singing "Silent Night," "O Come, Little Children" and "O, Sanctissima," with short recitations in-between.
I found it quite moving, thinking that this was done 108 years ago, before either of the world wars and that all the little voices have long been silent.
I would love it if any German-speaking members might have a go at translating the little poems the children recite. I'd love to play this cylinder at my church choir party this year with translation handouts!
Thanks for listening!
