Podcasts about Good King Wenceslas

Happy Spooky Month everyone! As the autumn weather finally arrives here in Iowa, I am in the mood to read some excellent Christmas ghost stories that are perfect for the Halloween season. Today's story is called Sir Hugo's Prayer by G. B. Burgin. It's a humorous tale of the ghostly Sir Hugo and his wife who have been forced to haunt the family grounds. Then one Christmas Eve, a young lady arrives with two potential suitors who are seeking to win her affection. Will Sir Hugo be able to lend a (ghostly) helping hand? Also, I take a very quick look at the Saint behind the song "Good King Wenceslas" - which has also has a connection to our story. Who knew the name "Wenceslas" would be so hard to pronounce...  I hope you enjoy today's funny and festive and slightly spooky story!   Ways to support the show: Rate and review: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-cozy-christmas-podcast/id1523423375  Buy me a coffee? www.ko-fi.com/cozychristmas  Ornaments, Mugs, and Notebooks: https://www.etsy.com/shop/CozyChristmasPodcast  Logo shirt designs: http://tee.pub/lic/edygC_h4D1c    Contact Me: facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cozychristmaspodcast  instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cozychristmaspodcast/  twitter: https://twitter.com/CozyXmasPod  youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCikiozEbu0h9pKeI1Ei5TQ email: cozychristmaspodcast@gmail.com     #podcast #Christmas #christmaspodcast #halloween #halloweenstories #christmasstories #ghoststories

Reverse Warrior ~ Good King Wenceslas (Traditional Choir)

On this in-between season break special episode of Royally Screwed, we're going to talk about the man behind the Christmas Carol "Good King Wenceslas". Who was Wenceslas? Was he even a king? And how did he become enshrined into the season of Christmas?

New York-based drummer and educator Matt Wilson has performed with and/or played on many recordings by other musicians - Joe Lovano, John Scofield, Charlie Haden, Lee Konitz, among others - and leads ensembles of his own, but at this time of year, the thing he might be best known for is his Christmas Tree-O. And yes, he went there – putting a pun right in the band's name. The trio, featuring multi-reed player Jeff Lederer and bassist Paul Sikivie, takes holiday tunes as a whimsical jumping off point for a variety of jazz styles, from swing to free improv. They have a new album called Tree Jazz – The Shape Of Christmas To Come, and they're here to play their gleeful, irreverent, and sometimes nerdy takes on music of the season, in-studio. Set list: 1.

In this Christmas season, we are bombarded with messages encouraging materialistic giving. Here Kris reflects on an alternative, deeper type of generosity. Like in the story of Good King Wenceslas, can we lead the way by giving more widely and recklessly?

Guests: Adam Lovinger, Timothy McDonnell, & Patricia Bart Host Scot Bertram talks with Adam Lovinger, vice president for strategic affairs at the Gold Institute for International Strategy, about how the deep state worked to diminish the influence of the United States around the world and takes us inside his new book The Insider Threat: How the Deep State Undermines America from Within. Timothy McDonnell, associate professor of Music at Hillsdale College, continues a discussion about the history of some of the most popular Christmas carols. This week: the strange history of "Good King Wenceslas.” And Patricia R. Bart, associate professor of English at Hillsdale College, continues an in-depth series on the history of the English language.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

While many of our Christmas carols are about getting cozy with loved ones by the fire, "Good King Wenceslas" is about going out in the snow to deliver food and fuel to a poor stranger seen out the window. In this episode, we see how, like Good King Wenceslas, volunteers are venturing out at Christmas time to share generously with those who are in need. We visit STC Berlin, where volunteers, together with elderly people, are wrapping packages for refugee children. And we hear about multiple other initiatives around the world where people have looked out their windows to see who else might need a helping hand this Christmas.

A brief history of Christmas carols and a surprising discovery - from ancient pagan Yuletide traditions to Winter Solstice at Newgrange, onto wassailing, Waits and Good King Wenceslas, we find our way to a surprising discovery that will jingle your bells and leave you passing time in wonder.

Hail and well met, book friends! We're feeling pretty silly as we close in on the final episodes of Season 9. We travel back to 10th century Bohemia to learn the story behind the popular Christmas carol "Good King Wenceslas". Join us for a very biblically-styled tale that taught us some things but failed to get us invested in the characters. The author emailed us about his book and, usually when we get emails from authors or PR reps, it's not even worth consideration - but a medieval historical thriller? about a Christmas carol? In this century at this point in history? At this time of year? It only made sense to pop it onto the schedule for December.  Thanks to George himself for furnishing us with a free review copy of the book (and being willing to be featured on TBC with all that may entail)! Musings and derailments include: Duke Abe Simpsovclav of Springfieldia, heavy metal months, Breastfeeding education, Paris's Babadook terrors, and we struggle to poorly sing another song from the book (the titular carol)! In addition to our usual barnyard language, today's episode includes discussion or mention of parental abuse, sexual assault, and murder.

This is the time of year when, more than any other time, it pays to be an efficient harpist. Just what do I mean by efficient? There are lots of ways we can add more efficiency to our harping, for example, practicing more efficiently. But at the holiday time, efficiency takes on a different look.  At the holidays, we have more music we want to play, more places we want to play it, and less time to practice, let alone learn anything new. This is where a little creativity and some experimentation can help ease the crush and the rush. Specifically, I want to show you how creating variations from one piece of music can stretch your music without stretching your practice time. Here's a scenario that might sound familiar to you. You've been asked to play background music for a holiday luncheon. They want an hour of holiday music but you only have 30 minutes that you feel prepared to play. What do you do? Well, you have several choices. You could learn new music, but you don't have the time for that. You could turn down the engagement. Nope, don't like that option. You could play everything twice. That's a good idea, but you're already playing four repetitions of “Good King Wenceslas” and another four might be pushing the limit. What if you could make those extra verses sound more interesting and creative? Now, there's an idea, and that's what I want to teach you today, how to create variations for your holiday carol. I'm talking real variations, not just playing the melody an octave higher.  The theme and variations form has been around for hundreds of years. It's interesting to play and to hear. Plus, from a busy harpist's perspective, it's learning just one piece and getting loads of extra value from it, musical value and technique value too. We're talking variations today, so grab a cup of coffee and we'll get those creative juices flowing!

What's up, dudes? Adam Pope from Wizards! The Podcast Guide to Comics and The Retro Network (Geekster) is here to talk about the unbelievable phenomenon that was Teddy Ruxpin! It's Ken Forsse's terrific talking teddy bear…no, Illiop! In fact, there was a even a special presentation book with matching Santa outfit called "Teddy Ruxpin's Christmas!"  In the land of Grundo, the anthropomorphic bear Teddy Ruxpin and his Octopede friend Grubby help us earthlings to celebrate Christmas. They immediately launch into a medley of carols: “Here we Come A'Wassaling”, “Deck the Halls", "The Holly and the Ivy", and "Good King Wenceslas.” Newton Gimmick and friends join up with the duo, and the gang sing a special Grundo version of “The Twelve Days of Christmas.” Grubby jokes of running out legs while keeping track of days in the song, and Gimmick begins a medley of “Carol of the Bells” and “Jingle Bells.”Ever the comedian, Grubby complains his ears are still ringing. Meanwhile, the friends are joined by another group of carolers. They perform “O Christmas Tree” and Gimmick subsequently suggests that Teddy and Grubby tell the story of “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas.” The choir bids us farewell singing “We Wish You A Merry Christmas.”Cassettes? Check. Books? Need ‘em. Obligatory Santa outfit and carol sing? For sure! So grab your Illiop, call your Octopede friend, and sing along with this Teddy Ruxpin Christmas episode!Wizards!Twitter: @WizardsComicsIG: @wizards_comicsFB: @TRNsocialCheck us out on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Totally Rad Christmas Mall & Arcade, Teepublic.com, or TotallyRadChristmas.com!

John Mason Neale was born in London to evangelical parents. His father's early death meant that Neale attended many different schools; he eventually earned a degree from Trinity College, Cambridge. While at Cambridge, Neale moved from an evangelical to a strongly Anglican religious orientation. He helped found the Cambridge Camden Society, which later became the Ecclesiological Society, at Cambridge in 1839; the group's main goal was to align church architecture, decoration, and ritual with its teaching. Neale was ordained a deacon in 1841 and a priest in 1842. His role in mid-19th-century British religious history is complex: many of his innovations, including establishing the Society of Saint Margaret for the nursing of pensioners and the poor, seemed too close to Roman Catholicism for Anglican leaders of the day.  Nonetheless, Neale's literary and religious output was immense. He wrote books and pamphlets on a wide range of spiritual and material issues. Neale's other volumes included novels, books for children, and works on church history. He penned a multivolume History of the Holy Eastern Church (1847, 1850, and a posthumous volume in 1873). Neale's interest in Eastern Christianity led him to translate Hymns of the Eastern Church (1862), though he translated many other kinds of hymns, including from Latin, for Anglican use. Neale is best remembered as a hymnist whose collections include Hymns for Children (1843), Hymns for the Sick (1843), Carols for Christmas-tide (1853), and Carols for Easter-tide (1854). Perhaps his most famous carol is “Good King Wenceslas.” Neale's early death, at age 48, was not widely recognized at the time; however, the archbishop of Canterbury celebrated its centenary.-bio via Poetry Foundation Get full access to The Daily Poem Podcast at dailypoempod.substack.com/subscribe

The world can sometimes feel dark and weary—shrouded by nuances of fear, jealousy, and rage. Yet, like the moonshine on a world shrouded in darkness, even the smallest of deeds done with love in our heart can become a beaconing light to guide our way.   In this episode, you'll hear a story about how following in the footsteps of loving kindness can shield us from the “winter's rage” of a seemingly dark and weary world.

According to the Christmas carol, “Good King Wenceslas looked out on the feast of Stephen.” But who was Wenceslaus, and what is the feast of Stephen? Scott treks thru the history of these two Catholic saints, and the carol that connects them.

 Today, we will focus on the life and work of John Mason Neale, an Anglican priest, scholar, and hymnwriter who translated and adapted many ancient and medieval hymns into English. My initial thought was to relegate Neale to a bonus episode hitched to Episode 71 and Wenceslaus. But when I saw that he was also responsible for the popular English translations of "Good Christian Men, Rejoice" and "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel" I had to give him the full episode treatment. Those two songs, along with "Good King Wenceslas" are some of my favorite classic Christmas songs so I really enjoyed learning about Neale.RESOURCESHymnology Archive. https://www.hymnologyarchive.com/john-mason-neale.The Feast Days: https://thefeastdays.com/0807

Of ALLLLLL the Christmas songs, THIS one is among the least known, sung or understood--yet it's so powerful and has so much to teach us!

I used the song Good King Wenceslas to learn the Greek Alphabet. Maybe it will help you too?

What's up, dudes? It's the Feast of St. Stephen, so that means it's time to talk the 1984 version of "Good King Wenceslas" by Mannheim Steamroller! The melody comes from an ancient Paschal hymn, the text from an Anglican scholar. Synths? Yup. Syncopation? Uh huh. '80s flair? Definitely! So grab your Rhodes, start playing a Mixolydian riff, and jam out to this episode!Check us out on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Totally Rad Christmas Mall & Arcade, Teepublic.com, or TotallyRadChristmas.com!

"Good King Wenceslas looked out, on the Feast of Stephen, When the snow lay round about, deep and crisp and even." I don't know about you but I've never tasted figgy pudding, dreamt of sugar plums dancing in my head or washed down tankard of wassail. But singing about some ancient king tromping through the snow may seem most removed from our daily lives. However, the Feast of Stephen us provides more than just the setting for a catchy holiday song.

The Roches' 1990 We Three Kings is the Christmas album you'd expect from the folk trio as sing a set of holiday classics gorgeously, often a cappella, and occasionally with their tongues ever so delicately in their cheeks.  Terre Roche remembers their Christmas shows, the Caroling Carolers, and getting shooed off the sidewalk in front of Trump Tower in a conversation about singing with her sisters. The occasion for the conversation is Christmas and the release of Kin Ya See That Sun by Terre and Maggie Roche. It's a book that reflects on their first foray into the music business with humbling results. Terre talks about being young women in music in the early 1970s and some of the challenges they faced.  In the episode, Terre talks about a video of one of Suzzy's introductions to "Good King Wenceslas."  I also mention my Christmas mix, which I'll send you. Write me at alex@myspiltmilk.com to get one. You can also find Jim Goodwin's indie Christmas mix at ChristmasUnderground.com, and Brad Ross-McLeod's old vinyl Christmas mix at FaLaLaLaLa.com.  We also heard "Marshmallow World" from Nikki Yanofsky, which you can hear now on all the streaming services.

NCLA Opposes Govt's Motion to Dismiss Student Loan Debt Cancellation Lawsuit Mark discusses the latest motion filed in Cato v. Department of Education, NCLA's case against Biden's student-loan-debt-cancellation plan. Holiday Parody Takes Digs at EPA's Role in Causing Gold King Mine Environmental Disaster The EPA's actions are inspiration for a parody video of one of the largest environmental catastrophes ever. The project is a collaboration between NCLA and internet celebrity Remy. The video draws on the familiar Christmas carol “Good King Wenceslas,” while detailing EPA's actions on August 5, 2015, when EPA personnel breached the Gold King Mine near Silverton, Colorado, releasing three million gallons of toxic mine waste and heavy minerals flowed into a tributary of the Animas River, part of the Colorado River watershed.

A look at generosity through the life of Good King Wenceslas.

We're traveling to bitter-cold Bohemia to dig deep into the story of a 10th-century duke turned king turned saint: Good King Wenceslas. The legend of Wenceslas' generosity and faith has reverberated throughout time, but it wasn't until 1853, that the prolific Victorian hymn writer, John Mason Neale, wrote the lyrics and paired them with a jaunty 16th-century festival song: Tempus Adest Floridum. We're joined by two modern day music legends: Catholic liturgical music composer, Christopher Walker, and Terre Roche of The Roches! Fr. James Martin, S.J., also joins the podcast to offer his theological take on his favorite version of Good King Wenceslas—performed by The Roches.  Special thanks to Terre Roche of the Roches for her exclusive acoustic version of our featured carol, and to Molly Cahill, Francis Tuson, Fae Tuson and Ricardo da Silva, S.J., who recorded vocals especially for this episode.  We would like to thank Nancy Dahn and Timothy Steeves of Duo Concertante (featuring Christine Carter), Matt Isaac, Firjii, OCP and The Ignatian Schola for providing snippets of “Good King Wenceslas” heard in this episode.
