Jesus Christ the Apple Tree

[MiddleDeeping]

If you can find the Baby Genius recording of this, it is, IMO, the most beautiful of all. It's their tempo that sets it apart from any others I've heard. They have a two-beat rest after most of the lines--makes it far more contemplative and restful. It's from their Christmas album.

@MiddleDeeping Thank you for the recommendation.

My favourite Christmas carol. "Painfully beautiful" indeed. I can't believe someone actually disliked this, I mean, seriously? Lovely video too, especially the carvings. Thank you.

By the way, you wouldn't happen to know who the performers are, would you?

@youspoon1978 The song is from a Christmas album entitled "Gabriel's Message."

It is SO gorgeous. I agree with RebeccaRiot that is is "painfully" beautiful. Exquisite.
