The other day for the Holiday Music Fest, I posted a beautiful, haunting recording of "The Little Drummer Boy," sung in German by Marlene Dietrich. I thought this would be an appropriate follow-up on Christmas Day.
This comes from Season One of The West Wing, a Christmas 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 Little Drummer Boy."
