This magical season rings with music and song like none other. That's why on Friday, Dec. 18, at 4 p.m., we invite you to join host Scott Blankenship for the live holiday special, Caroling with The Singers. 

Led by Matthew Culloton, The Singers will perform 15 carols during the hour, and you're invited to sing along with your radio. Wherever you are — at home, at work (if you can get away with it), in your car, at a party — we invite all listeners to carol with The Singers on Classical MPR.


In the run-up to Caroling with The Singers, we asked you to vote for your favorite carols to determine which songs will be included in the program. The results are listed below, starting with number 15 and progressing to the top choice. Click the links below to reveal sheet music for each carol. Have fun, and happy holidays!

Scott Blankenship started his radio career in college when he began working as a volunteer at a local cable radio station, announcing alternative and new rock music. His love and appreciation of classical music began at public radio station KVNO in Omaha, where he spent 13 years in various on-air and management roles, five of those years as the morning drive-time host.

Indications that radio was in his blood go back to age five, when he used a corkboard and a battered phonograph as a makeshift radio studio; his father's Air Force issue flashlight served as his "on air" light. In his spare time, Blankenship is an avid cyclist and amateur playwright with several produced scripts to his credit.
