There are certain moments in our lives when we get amused by how fast time passes by. For me, it happened today – I understood that it's been only a day after this year's thanksgiving celebration (and hey, I still remember the previous year's one!). Thinking about that, I realized that soon are coming Christmas and New Year's Eve too. In relation to classical music Christmas is perhaps a holiday like no other – a number of carols and hymns never fails to impress, and even nowadays this wonderful holiday still inspires songwriters and composers from all over the world.
What is so special and hard to define yet easy to feel about Christmas is well, its "spirit." Spirit of the Christmas is what makes us look at the things differently – more positive, if you like, – and also what literally clears away any despair and boredom. From my experience, music does almost exactly the same, and when it Christmas music, it truly is an antidote to melancholy. Considering the transience of time, it's never too early to replenish your collection of Christmas classics – enjoy this amazing archive of christmas sheet music.
