Advent 2

Today's choice is rousing yet, after sane reflection, chilling. It is a putative Nazi anthem though it was in fact written for the musical Cabaret in 1966. The accompanying clip from the brilliant film version of that musical is cleverly done - at first we see only the face of the young singer. The voice is clear, clean and uplifting. Only gradually is his Hitler Youth uniform revealed. Note as well the old man in the crowd who has seen it all before and refuses to be roused. A stellar piece of music - Tomorrow Belongs to Me.
