Since we had Marlene Dietrich singing "Der Trommelmann" in German yesterday, I figured this would be as good a time as any to post an especially moving sequence from a Christmas episode of The West Wing.
This comes from Season One of The West Wing, an episode titled, "In Excelsis Deo." It's the last four-minutes, and one of the best final four minutes, not just of The West Wing, but a TV episode I've seen. Wonderful not only for what it's about, but that combined with the use of music, performance and editing. And it is an absolutely beautiful, moving setting for the song in English, "The Little Drummer Boy."
