It's time again for Three Tune Tuesday, that day of the week where members of the Hive community shares three songs of their liking with the rest of the community.
I take a slow, relaxing approach to Three Tune Tuesday. I encourage you to take a few moments and slow down with me. Settle down, close your eyes, and take yourself back.. way back.. in time, to a distant uncle's parlour in the early 1920's. There are comfortable seats, pleasant conversation, and an old wind up phonograph that Uncle is using to play some songs.
This week that old uncle of ours sat us down and played us some songs as a musical representation of the history of Christmas, with the first song singing about the very beginning of the holiday.
It Came Upon the Midnight Clear
Year: 1916
Artist: Victor Oratio Chorus
The next song Uncle decided to play had a more medieval cathedral sound to it. "Fitting," he'd say, "on our musical progression from year 0." This is a wonderfully clear song for being over 100 years old, now, and played on an Edison London Upright.
Celestial Chimes
And as the years roll by, leading into decades, leading into centuries, Christmas has become a time for children, gift giving, and gift receiving. Being that we are imagining ourselves in the 1920's, sitting in our Uncle's parlour with brightly decorated tree, what would come to the mind of a young boy other than toys?
Parade of the Wooden Soldiers
Year: 1922
Artist: International Novelty Orchestra
Three Tune Tuesday (TTT) is initiated by @ablaze.
I run a live stream of my TTT songs every Tuesday at 12:00pm EDT, then take that stream and share the songs from it here, on Hive, on Wednesday (or occasionally Thursday). These songs are all old pre-1923 78rpm records from my collection, played on my antique phonographs and recorded with a well placed microphone. Like what you hear? Come listen live!
