Hi Chorus Members!
As of tonight's rehearsal, we have the songs that we will be performing. The list can be seen on the right hand side of this blog. That means that the following pieces of music will not be performed this year and should be pulled from your binder, if they have not already been pulled:
A Family Christmas Spectacular
Believe
Bring a Torch, Jeanette, Isabella
Bring us Peace
Carol of the Christmas Bells
God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen
Herself a Rose
I Saw Three Ships
I Wish You Christmas
In the Bleak Midwinter
On That Night in Bethlehem
Run to Bethlehem
The Shepherd's Carol
We probably all had to give up some music that we really liked. I know I did. Writers are told that in the editing process they have to "kill their darlings," meaning those phrases, pages and chapters that were well beloved and so beautifully crafted, but really don't work with the story. This is a similar situation. Fortunately, the musical "darlings" are being saved and will probably be reconsidered for performance next year.
Meanwhile, we now know the pieces we'll be performing, so we know where to put our efforts. And that is such a good thing!
