Angels From the Realms of Glory

Little Angels

Stunningly beautiful statues in relief, high up on the ceiling, at the Charlottenburg Palace, Berlin.

I am sure you have all been listening to Christmas carols in the shops for weeks already, but since it is now December, I think I can talk about this one.

Angels from the Realms of Glory is a lovely Christmas carol. It has two versions, with the same words but different tunes, and we sang both as kids, in school in the north of England.

It was difficult to find a plain rendition of this classic carol, but you can listen to a version of it here.

Wow how cool it is to have statutes on ceiling! 😉 They are indeed very stunning and totally spice up the ceiling ❤

haha Thank you 🙂 They certainly knew how to live back then – if you had money, of course! 🙂

I had to sing this in high school choir. Back then I was a soprano… I’ve lost some octaves over the years!

Nice 🙂 But I bet you can sing lower now than you used to? 🙂

  I went from high soprano to mid alto. Ouch! Maybe from lack of practice. Vocal chords are muscles. ..

It’s lovely isn’t it. This is also one of my favourite carols. Wish they;d play these in the shops instead of Slade and Wizzard!

I haven’t heard this particular song at our shops, but they do tend to play the old traditional carols – not Slade etc
