In the winter time and at the end of the year, music seems to have a magical effect. The Munich writer and tower writer Alfons Schweiggert describes the rich tradition of singing and making music during Advent and Christmas. What kind of magic does music emanate from in spinning rooms or when visiting angel offices, when going for a knocker’s call and looking for hostels, when children are weighed in, when the Perchten are run, when the New Year’s Day is blown and when the Epiphany is sung? The stories are not only suitable for getting into the mood for Advent and Christmas, but also for presentations at Christmas parties or during the popular Advent carols.
