Not just any Jingle Bells, but the version that was recorded in Denmark, released in the U.S. in the mid-1950s and re-released in the early 70s. Yes, that Jingle Bells, the one barked out by The Singing Dogs. It just doesn’t seem like the holiday season until I hear those canine crooners reminding me “oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh” in a chorus of deep woofs and staccato barks. I wouldn’t let the dogs out as background sound during Quistmas dinner, but the time definitely ranks high on my holiday playlist, along with an obscure Slovak song ( Anjeli Indi) that my family has sung since I was a kid, and Wendy Carlos’ Switched on Brandenburgs, particularly Brandenburg Concerto No. 4inG Major, the “presto” section. What’s on your holiday playlist? “I love music and my taste is generally very eclectic, all over the map, especially with Christmas music,” said Launa Wakenhut, a Livonia residentt and active member of St. Michael the Archangel Parish. “I love everything from The Nutcracker Suite to the holiday standards to novelty songs and, of course, carols and hymns, but I guess Christmas is never really complete for me un^ we’re trimming the tree and I’m listening to Mahalia Jackson sing Silent Night and Go TM It On the Mountain.” Italian song Rick Selva, Ph.D. and director of jazz studies at Schoolcraft College in Livonia, said Tu Scendi Dalle Stelle, which translates roughly to “you descend from the heavens” tops his seasonal playlist. Selva once wrote an arrangement of the song for a church in Chicago. “It’s the Silent Night of Italy. It’s beautiful.,” he said, adding that Oh Holy Night performed by Luciano Pavarotti also deserves a listen. “And LajmeUe Harris does a version of Sweet Little Jesus Boy that is beautiful.” H^cey Schulz Kobylarz, Redford Township supervisor, ranks Oh Holy Night as her all-time favorite reminder of “the reason for the season.” “Santa Baby — preferably Madonna’s version — is my all time favorite jingle tune,” she added. “And my all time silly song for Christmas is Dominic the Christmas Donkey.” Son g , film Dan West, Livonia Chamber of Commerce president, has one favorite Ch^tm as tune and one favorite holiday film. “My favorite song is Christmas Time is Here, from the cartoon A Charlie Brown Christmas,” West said. “Then my favorite m ovie is White Christmas. Both were introduced to me by my parents when I Was young, and now I see my two daughters (9 and 6) connect to those songs and shows as well. Need more music ideas for the family Christmas gathering this week? Here’s a sampling of other holiday “must hear” suggestions from yoiu* neighbors: Original soundtrack There has NEVER been a holiday in my 51 years that has not had Charlie Brown and the Gang right there. So, there has always been the music and sound of Vince Guaraldi and his trio, in my life at some time. No Christmas season can truly be, to me, unless I hear Christmas Ttime is Here both the instrumen tal and with voice versions. It sparks the light and warmth of the holiday season for me. (It’s) from the original soundtrack of A Charlie Brown Christmas. Next, one of my favorite pianists/musicians is George Winston. In the early 80s Winston created a series of albums based on the ‘sea sons. On his December album is a very small (short) piece, also written by Vince Gua raldi. ... the simple Guaraldi piece is titled Prelude and is as delicate as a still winter’s night. I Finally, the arrangement of Silent Nacht on their very first, A Mannheim Steamroller Christmas album, brings a tear to my eye every time. From the simple begiiming, shift to vocal, building, and then the ending simply played on a child’s toy piano. Finally, the sleigh bells that “fly” from right to left speakers, com pletes the mystery of the “silent night.'’ Listen and you will believe, in anything you want to. — Craig Hane, artistic director of Barefoot Pro ductions in Pl3miouth Lo cal band 1.
