‘Gesu Bambino’

You don’t think I’d let Christmas go by without posting Gesu Bambino by Pavarotti–did you? Perish the thought!

And here he’s got help from the Wandsworth School Boys’ Choir and the National Philharmonic Orchestra. You’ve gotta love it!

‘Gesu Bambino’ (Pavarotti & Osborne)

I don’t know why my spirit called for this hymn today–Gesu Bambino, sung by Luciano Pavarotti and Joan Osborne. Brings me to tears, too.

A dash of Christmas, any time, can’t be a bad thing.

‘Gesu Bambino’ (Pavarotti)

No hymn requests this morning, no entries in our carol contest… well, maybe this will help get us started: Gesu Bambino, sung by Luciano Pavarotti and Joan Osborne in a special concert in Modena, Italy–Pavarotti’s birthplace.

‘Gesu Bambino’

I’m just dying for Christmas this year. It can’t come soon enough or stay around long enough for me. Well, we’ve had a lot of hard traveling this year.

So, here’s an early taste of Christmas–Gesu Bambino, sung by Luciano Pavarotti and Joan Osborne. Brings a tear to my eye.

Pavarotti, ‘Gesu Bambino’

No likes, no comments, not carol contest entries–not a good start to the day. Maybe I can get the ball rolling with this–

Come on, everybody–it’s Christmas!

‘Gesu Bambino’ (Pavarotti)

The other day we got five hymns entered into our Christmas Carol Contest; yesterday and this morning, none. That’ll teach me to use ’em up all at once.

So I offer this to get the ball rolling: Gesu Bambino, sung by Luciano Pavarotti backed up by the Petits Chanteurs de Mont-Royal boys’ choir.

One More Time: ‘Gesu Bambino’ (With a Christmas Prayer)

Let’s not let go of Christmas just yet.

There is sweetness and healing to be found in Christmas, and in this hymn, Gesu Bambino, sung by Luciano Pavarotti with the Vienna Boys Choir–even in this Christmas, marred by dirty politics and the COVID panic, and all the ills of this world which Dante called “that little threshing-floor that makes us all so fierce.” It was to save this world that Jesus Christ was born; and save it He will.

O Lord our God! Grant this past Christmas power to work all year, every day, to tame our wild hearts and draw us to Christ our Savior and our King, to move us to repentance, to move us to love one another, and forbear with one another, as we should. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

‘Gesu Bambino’ (Pavarotti)

Gee, no one entered this one in the carol contest! Maybe if I post it, the contest will heat up today. There’s always a slowdown after Christmas.

Without further ado: Gesu Bambino, sung by Luciano Pavarotti.

Pavarotti: ‘Gesu Bambino’

No one has requested this so far–because there are more great Christmas hymns than we have people to request them. But I wouldn’t want to let the season go by without it, so here it is–Gesu Bambino, sung by Luciano Pavarotti backed up by the Wandsworth Boys School Choir and the National Philharmonic Orchestra.

‘Gesu Bambino’ (Pavarotti)

I don’t understand the language, but what does that matter? Pavarotti sings directly to the heart. It would move the heart of a statue. And the message of the hymn, the proclamation that Jesus Christ is born, is the heart’s best nourishment.
