  • Christmas-Around-The-World-Sweden
    Christmas Around the World Sweden Christmas in Sweden Book List: Christmas in Noisy Village by Astrid Lindgren Kirsten’s Surprise by Janet Beeler Shaw and Renee Graef Annika’s Secret Wish by Beverly Lewis (HSS unit) Geography: Sweden is in Northern Europe and is considered a Scandinavian country. Stockholm is the largest city and the capital. Sweden is bordered by the Gulf of Bothnia, the Baltic Sea, Norway and Finland. The country is traditional divided into three “Lands” or areas: Gotaland (South), Svealand (mid-section of Sweden), and Norrland (North). The Swedish flag has a medium blue background with a yellow cross on it. Preparation: Christmas is celebrated for almost two months in Sweden. It starts with the first Sunday in Advent. Each Sunday prior to Christmas another candle is lit. Christmas trees are normally brought into homes a few days before Christmas. Traditions: St. Lucia: Early on the morning of December 13th the oldest daughter of the family puts on a white robe and a head wreath of candles. She then serves the family Lussekatter (St. Lucia buns) and coffee in bed. This custom goes back to Lucia, a Christian girl martyred for her beliefs in the 4th century. Today in every town and school a “Lucia” is chosen. There is also an election to choose a Lucia for the big parade in Stockholm. Christmas Eve: This is the day of the Christmas feast, which is a smorgasbord with ham, lutfisk (cod in a cream sauce), pickled pig’s feet, and rice pudding (There is normally an almond hidden in the pudding.

  • CHRISTMAS Christmas with Naxos
    CATALOGUE 2018 CHRISTMAS Christmas with Naxos Christmas is one of the most richly celebrated seasons around the world. While its focus rests on just a few days of the year, the wealth of music that has been written to mark its spirit and story is astonishingly plentiful and varied. Musicians continue to be inspired by the message of Christmas: in the following pages you will find examples of contemporary choral works by British composers John Tavener, James MacMillan and Sasha Johnson Manning alongside the established masterpieces of composers such as J. S. Bach, Handel and Berlioz. The Christmas story has also been recorded in opera, ballet and instrumental music, in a range of expression that runs from piety to jollity. Easy-listening compilations are well represented in the listings, including regional collections and the gamut of carols that are annual favourites, heard either in the splendour of Europe's historic cathedrals or in the local community. We hope our catalogue will serve you with music that is both comfortingly familiar and refreshingly novel. May you spend a very happy Christmas with Naxos.
