O Come, O Come Emmanuel, Three Versions

122 words

In the spirit of Advent, here are three different versions of O Come, O Come Emmanuel that I’ve recorded over the years.

O Come, O Come Emmanuel from 1992

This instrumental version features a Yamaha TQ5 and, if I remember right, a yard sale electric guitar running through a Digitech rackmounted guitar effects unit.

O Come, O Come Emmanuel from 1995

This recording was actually sort of an experimental accident.  I found that it had a rather mystical, hypnotic quality to it.

O Come, O Come Emmanuel from 2000 (with guest pianist Cynthia)

This is kind of a folksy celtic version featuring acoustic instruments, a harmonica and even a bodhran, which is a celtic drum that is quite fun to play.

Enjoy.
