Friday night we had our Christmas party at church. I guess it shows that I am getting old. I really didn't want to go and sit through the same old same old. Well, Jennifer had to be there so I picked myself up and went since Mike wasn't home (he had to go out of town and hadn't make it home yet).
Well, I have to admit, there was some thought put into it. There was no mad rush of little kids to the food table. When it was time for the desserts to be put out, they reminded parents to keep their kids from rushing. Also, some of the ladies with children, stayed at the dessert table and helped so the kids didn't take a plate full and not leave any for the rest of the people. After eating they had a short program. The youth were involved rather than the children. They kept it short and to the point. Jennifer had to sing Silent Night so I figured I'd try to video it. Of course, I missed the first part since I wasn't paying close attention. Here is what I did get.

The Rest of the Concert
Jennifer's choir had to sing all their songs again today (Sunday) at the local Catholic church. The church has wonderful sound. I videoed the rest of their songs today.
This is the processional and 2 other songs that are part of a series of songs from "A Ceremony of Carols" by Benjamin Britten. The third song sounds like you are in an echo chamber. It is one of my favorites. The actual pieces are Procession, There Is No Rose, and This Little Babe.
Well, after waiting 7 hours for it to upload I finally tried to put it on YouTube. Here is the link:
Here is the next song. This is He Shall Feed His Flock from "Messiah" by George Frideric Handel.
I realized this video is almost as long so I uploaded it to YouTube also. Here is the link.
This one is called Personent Hodie arranged by John Leavitt.
The next one is called Nino Lindo (Traditional Italian Carol) arranged by Ruth Boshkoff.
Here is the finale again. This time since only the Chorale was singing, Ms. Barbara got the adults to sing along so the choir had someone to bounce their harmonizing off of. You notice the was an older lady behind me who was singing loudly.

Christmas Choir Concert
Friday night we got some snow flurries. Just the right kind of weather for a Christmas concert.
Here are some pictures of the snow. They were taken by a lady named Judi who lives next door to Paul and Elizabeth.
And now for some music. The first video is actually the finale. You can not always make out all the words but you can hear the music. The other three are some of the other songs the Chorale sang.
She sings again on Sunday at the Catholic Church in Denham Springs. They will be recording the music. The church also has great "sound" as in the shape of the building makes singing sound wonderful. I'll try to record my favorite song on that night.
Oh, and yes, she got Will to come and listen. His mom, step-dad, and step-sister were there also. Afterwards they all went out to eat while Mike and I came home.
