Abstract

The Johns Hopkins Glee Club, under the direction of James Mitchell, opens this Christmas program with capella renditions of "See That Babe in the Lowly Manger," "Go Tell It on the Mountain," and "Behold That Star." Hopkins president Milton S. Eisenhower reflects on the observance of Christmas and stories related to the holiday, particularly "Amahl and the Night Visitors." The Glee Club follows with "Lord the Messiah" with piano accompaniment. The Chesapeake Troubadours, a barbershop quartet, sings their version of "Winter Wonderland" and "Jingle Bells." Lynn Poole briefly notes the differences in Christmases around the world. The Glee Club sings "Cradle Song of the Shepherd" and "Lo, How a Rose E're Blooming" and concludes with "Carol of the Bells."
