Bad Lip Reading | Christmas is Here

We try to generally keep MotD a politics-free zone, but this is just too good not to share. You have to watch the whole video, but pay particular attention around 1:30 for a modulation by baby wail!

Fantasia | What Christmas Means to Me

Hope everyone had a great Friday. We close this week with “What Christmas Means To Me” (2013) sung by Fantasia (modulation around 1:30). Have a great weekend and Merry Christmas!

NSYNC | I Don’t Wanna Spend One More Christmas Without You

Today we feature Nsync’s “I Don’t Wanna Spend One More Christmas Without You” (2012). Modulation around 2:35.

Vox One | Lullay, Thy Little Tiny Child (The Coventry Carol)

Weekend bonus: Massachusetts-based a capella quintet Vox One delivers a beautiful performance of “Lullay, Thy Little Tiny Child/The Coventry Carol” (2017). Moduation at approximately 1:40, but many other fleeting key-of-the-moment sections, as well as a reversion to the original key.

Peter Hollens | Little Drummer Boy

Today we go back to Peter Hollens with “Little Drummer Boy,” a beautiful 2016 arrangement with TWO modulations, around 1:25 and 2:30. Enjoy!

The Tenors | Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

Today we feature The Tenors singing “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” (2017). 3:05 is the sweet spot. Enjoy!

Peter Hollens | Mary, Did You Know

Happy Monday! We kick off this week with Peter Hollens singing “Mary, Did You Know” (2015), with an exquisite key change around 1:37. Enjoy!

Leslie Odom, Jr. | The First Noel

Today we feature Leslie Odom Jr. singing “The First Noel” (key change around 2:09). His Xmas album featuring this song is quickly becoming one of my favorites — I highly recommend you check out the whole thing.

Mormon Tabernacle Choir | Deck the Halls

Today we feature the Mormon Tabernacle Choir! Thanks to Gus Connelly for contributing this 2013 video. It really is a modulation fest, starting around 0:45. Enjoy!
