The Holiday Fest
Dec 3, 2024

For today's Holiday Fest, we have songs that are both the unknown and known -- though an uncommon version. Both are from Marlene Dietrich.
This first is her recording of "Der Trommelmann" -- which might seem like it's the unknown song, but in fact it's the very well-known "Little Drummer Boy." But her recording in German is one of the most haunting (and to me best) versions.
The other song is the one that's unknown -- and absolutely beautiful. Again in German, it's "Still War die Nacht." (Still Was the Night).
