Repertoire for Advent/Christmas

[Matthew Prins]

I imagine most of us have our Advent and Christmas music all picked out, so it seems like about the right time to restart one of the most popular annual threads: Advent and Christmas repertoire!

First Congregational/Glen Ellyn, December 6th:
"This Advent Moon Shines Cold and Clear," arr. Matthew Prins (unpublished); with SA choir

Park Ridge Presbyterian, December 20th:
"God With Us for All Time," arr. Betty Garee (Shawnee Press); with orchestral chimes

"Christmas Fantasy on Five Carols," arr. Page Long (National Music)

First Congregational/Glen Ellyn, December 24th @ 7:00p:

"God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen," arr. Matthew Prins (unpublished); with organ and flute

"O Come, All Ye Faithful," arr. Barbara Kinyon (Agape; from Noels for Bells)

"Meditation on 'Angels We Have Heard on High'," arr. Matthew Prins (unpublished)

"Pat-A-Pan," arr. Barbara Kinyon (Agape); with flute and tamborine

First Congregational/Glen Ellyn, December 24th @ 11:00p:

"Ring Out, Ye Crystal Spheres," K. Lee Scott (Oxford University); with SATB choir and organ

By the way, thanks for all the flute/handbells suggestions, everyone; I ended up going with one of the two-octave ones because it looks like we'll be short a ringer.

Anyway, looking forward to seeing everyone else's lists...

Mine arrived today! Wahoo! That's fast shipping!

I'm going to leave it safely wrapped in it's USPS packaging for now; the
temptation is going to be rough, but I'm going to try to at least save it
until after Thanksgiving.

Stephanie

[Brian Parrott]

I think I just thought of another way to make money off Velocity toffee:

Stephanie ... I'll bet you $5 you don't make it until after Thanksgiving!!!

Mmmmmm, that buttery brittle ... I can hear it calling your name from here!!!

Brian Parrott

[Stephanie Wiltse]

Brian, I doubt wagering is legal under your 501(c)3.

;-P

Stephanie

[Nancy Hascall]

Don't challenge the lawyer -- he's probably already checked that out. ;-) mmmmm, enjoy that crunchy, sweet bit of heaven...

I said before I bought 4 cans. 2 of those are for my bell choirs - and
we've already gotten in to them. DELICIOUS - definitely a good batch this
year. :-)

YAY!

Who said anything about my 501(c)(3)? 

No, gaming is probably not allowed, but I can do it personally then donate! 

So, is it open yet?

[Susan T. Nelson]

You guys are killing me!

[Doug Jones]

Me too. I'm not allowed to have toffee. :(

(Not that it should stop... that's why I've been given a 'delete' key ;)

> Me too.  I'm not allowed to have toffee.  :(

:-( indeed.  That's too bad.  

> (Not that it should stop... that's why I've been given a 'delete' key ;)

Wasn't suggesting it should stop... just joining in on the fun.  Yummy stuff.

Thanks for the suggestion, Michele. I haven't bought Velocity toffee
since they were in Virginia/DC a few years ago -- because I have NO
BUSINESS eating it. But when you said you share it with your handbell
choirs I thought yeah, why not. So now I've up and ordered two cans for
all my little vultures. And I'll see how long I last before I dive in as
well!
Come to think of it, I'll take one can to the cathedral bell tower.
That's where the serious vultures reside!

LOL, me either but it's soooooo good!

That is a good idea, Michele.  Then I can have some in a controlled environment, LOL!  If it's at home, well, you know... short shelf life.

You're both very welcome! :-)

I love Velocity Toffee & so do my bell choirs!

Ain't that the truth! As they say, "An open can is an empty can!"
