"Twelve Days of Christmas" MP3 request?
An open request to my flist -
I am in need of a version of "The Twelve Days of Christmas" to use with an edumacational activity for EFL learners. I need a version that is clearly sung and stays close to the traditional melody, with minimal jazzy flourishes or whatever. A choral version is fine, but a single individual singing voice will be easier for my students to follow along with.
After searching through my massive CD and MP3 collection this morning, I realized that every version that I have of this song is way too "out-there" to use. I mean, the Natalie Cole version is great, but it's so jazzed-up that it barely resembles the traditional melody in the first place.
So please, help!
