Caroling (UPDATED! w/ practice videos)

Here is the list of carols for Sat, Dec 14,  roughly in order, with some Alto practice videos, though the Sopranos can use them, too.

There are a couple of tiny miscues, mostly due to Ericka's having learned other arrangements of these carols, but they're perfect for practice.  

There are all kinds of variations of words & harmonizations, but we will try to stick with what's on your music hand-outs unless specified otherwise.

If you want a second opinion, you might try the Adoremus Hymnal MP3 site linked on the side bar, though, inexplicably, they sometimes sing only in unison, not in parts.

1. Adeste Fideles / O Come All Ye Faithful

2. Hark, The Herald Angels Sing

Note: if Ericka sings the descant of verse 3, then everyone will sing melody for verse 3.

3. Once In Royal David's City

Note: we will sing verses 1, 2, & 4 of your caroling hand-out.

4. Away In A Manger

Note: on the second line of verse 1, change "The stars in the sky" to "The stars in the night sky."

5. Lo, How A Rose E'er Blooming

6. In Dulci Iubilo

Note: The concert words are different from your previous caroling hand-out; this is what will learn & sing even for caroling.  The video shows verses 1 & 2 of the concert music.  This is the music we will use for caroling; the concert music is different for verses 3 & 4, but you will learn that, too, eventually.  I will have revised caroling sheet music & the concert music for you at next practice so we are all - literally & proverbally - singing off the same hymn sheet.

7. Good King Wenceslas

8. Jesus Christ The Apple Tree

9. Alma Redemptoris Mater

9a. I Saw Three Ships (alternative)

10. Joy To The World

11. We Wish You A Merry Christmas

"Become a saint!"
