Embellish Repertoire for Christmas 2015

[Stephanie Wiltse]

I'll show you ours if you show me yours! This is our full concert rep (performing it tonight at 7 PM); for a few other concerts we've done various versions of this depending on concert length and available personnel.

Thanks to all the composers/arrangers for making this beautiful music possible!

We're fans, as you can see! "Savior of the Nations, Come" is stunning, but
"Coventry Carol" turns us all into puddles.

I've heard puddle ringing can be some of the hardest ringing ever attempted.

Our group is just one year old and intermediate level, but we had fun preparing and performing the following rep as a lead in to a choral cantata.

We Three Kings - Dobrinski

Mary, Did You Know - Page (spell binding!)

Silver Bells - Stiles

Christmas Joy - Dobrinski

The First Noel - Moklebust (You can really pin back the audience with the ending!)

Couldn't agree with your more, Stevie.   Love both of them.

But.

Wait til you hear her new "O Holy Night"   (we are premiering it this month).    Audiences have already raved about it.

Hi Dave,

I've been meaning to email you ... we are playing "Love Came Down at Christmas" from the Raleigh Ringer series this year. We LOVE it. :) Gorgeous. We are using it in our concert on Sunday (introducing it with a tenor and soprano singing it unaccompanied from the balcony, and then us playing it); and then using it again on Christmas Eve.

Hope you are having a fabby December! I can't wait to hear "O Holy Night".

Sara
