The Vigil

Houston musician and Episcopal priest Kemper Crabb released his album The Vigil [40m] in 1982. It's a soundtrack to a medieval squire's overnight prayers before being knighted. If you prefer your New Year's Eve more contemplative than party-filled, then this legendary Christian music album might be what you're looking for!

Fitting that the Te Deum's included--it's traditionally sung on this night all over the Christian world (in thanksgiving for the prior year's blessings), just as the Veni, Creator Spiritus is on New Year's Day.

Cool post.

A friend sang "Thigpen's Wedding" at our wedding 25 years ago. I still like it.
