My Ultimate Christmas Playlist: For Unto Us a Child is Born

You’re right to assume that a song from Handel’s Messiah would be on this Christmas playlist. You probably thought I was going to pick the Hallelujah Chorus.

You were wrong.

Don’t misunderstand me. I have nothing against Hallelujah. I love listening go it. But if I had to pick one song from this masterpiece that was originally composed for Easter, it has to be For Unto Us a Child is Born.
