CD 5 – Silent Night - A Treasury of Christmas Carols and Hymns:
Veni, veni Emmanuel           
Quelle est cette odeur agréable?           
Es ist ein Ros’ entsprungen           
In the bleak mid-winter           
The Angel Gabriel           
The Wexford Carol           
Away in a Manger           
In dulci jubilo           
The Three Kings           
Gaudete!           
O Tannenbaum           
Behold, a simple tender babe           
O little town of Bethlehem           
I wonder as I wander           
Sing Lullaby           
Carol of the Universe           
The Shepherd’s Carol           
The Coventry Carol
A Spotless Rose           
While shepherds watched their flocks by night           
Silent Night
