Cool Childrens Clothes

The choir was first established in Latvia in 1950. It consists of a very well musically educated treble singers and a professional male group.
During the last 30 years, under the leadership of Janis Erenstreits, the boys of the Emils Darzins Music School gained international renown as angelic wonders, capable of producing musical miracles.
In 1990, as Latvia approached the restoration of its national independence, the boys of the Emils Darzins School chose to follow a centuries’ old tradition by naming the choir in honour of Riga ‘s 800-year old Dom Cathedral. Since 1994 the boys have been a part of the Riga Dom Choir School .

1- ‘Jolly old St Nicholas’

This traditional American carol is generally considered anonymous, although it may have been written by Wilf Carter.

2- ‘Bring a torch, Jeanette, Isabella’

Bring a Torch, Jeanette, Isabella” (French: Un flambeau, Jeannette, Isabelle) is a Christmas carol which originated from the Provence region of France in the 16th century. The song is unique among Christmas carols in that it is in 3/8 time.
The carol was first published in 1553 in France, and was subsequently translated into English in the 18th century. The song was originally not a song to be sung at Christmas, but rather dance music for French nobility.
The carol tells the story of two milkmaids, Jeanette and Isabella, who went to milk their cows in a manger in Bethlehem, only to find the baby Jesus sleeping in the hay. The two girls ran to town to tell the village of the coming of Christ, and the townspeople came with their own torches to view the sight for themselves. However, they had to keep their voices down so little Jesus could enjoy his dreams. To this day in the Provence region, children dress up as shepherds and milkmaids, carrying torches and candles to Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve, while singing the carol.
