Thank you, my friend CW5 Jack Cardwell for sharing the music video of composer Johann Sebastian Bach's "O Holy Night / Ave Maria" performed by The Piano Guys featuring soprano 15-year-old, Lexi Walker.
Her voice soars in this beautiful and moving performance.
"O Holy Night has graced Christmas for 170 years since its inception. It has earned a place among the greatest carols of all time. But such fame can breed vapid familiarity. 170 years of airtime can acclimate the ear so much that we may not feel the Holiness of O Holy Night as perhaps we once did. Unless, perhaps, its transcendent lyrics were cast into a new mold? A mold created by, none other than, Johan Sebastian Bach.
