The King's College Choir has a rich tradition of recorded Christmas music. They have become an annual highlight during the holidays on National Public Radio.
Once in royal David's city -- Angels, from the realms of glory -- Adam lay ybounden -- O little town of Bethlehem -- In dulci jubilo -- The first Nowell -- I saw three ships -- Whence is that goodly fragrance flowing? -- Quem pastores laudavere -- Personent hodie -- The holly and the ivy -- A spotless rose -- Away in a manger -- While shepherds watched -- Tomorrow shall be my dancing day -- Up! good Christian folk and listen -- In the bleak midwinter -- Ding dong! merrily on high -- Silent night -- It came upon the midnight clear -- The three kings -- I saw a maiden -- Sussex carol -- O come, all ye faithful -- Hark! the herald angels sing.
Matin responsory : I look from afar -- Come, thou redeemer of the earth -- I wonder as I wander -- The cherry tree carol -- Gabriel's message -- Sussex carol -- Stille nacht! -- Chester carol -- A babe is born -- A maiden most gentle -- I sing of a maiden -- Myn lyking -- O come, O come, Emmauel -- A child is born in Bethlehem -- Hodie Christus natus est -- Hosanna to the son of David -- Gloria in excelsis Deo -- When to the temple Mary went -- Angelus ad virginem -- Nowell! Nowell! Nowell! -- Jesus Christ the apple tree -- That Lord that lay in assë stall -- In dulci jubilo -- In dulci jubilo-chorale prelude.
