*** Choir Songs for Christmas 2022 ***

Introduction

    Here is the list of the songs we shall be singing at the Christmas Concerts 2022 on Saturday 10th and Saturday 17th December and some will be sung at the Victorian Market on Friday 9th December. You can follow your part for each song to make sure you know it in your own music. Finally I would like to apologise. Some of you will know that my eyesight isn't all that good since I have very poor parallax vision. I cannot read a voice part and the piano part at the same time. Sometimes I cannot read all of the piano accompaniment. Because of this please forgive any mistakes.

Looking at the songs

    Each song has been divided into small sections. There will be 4 recordings for each section for the 4 voices. I will stress the individual part so that you can play your part several times to learn it.

    Hopefully this method will enable you to learn each song and you can practise whenever you like. GOOD LUCK!

    After this there will be a You Tube video of a choir singing the song in 4 part harmony.

    Do let me have any observations you may have.

    Voices are as follows:-

      S or Sop = Soprano ------ A or Alto= Alto
      T or Ten = Tenor ------ B = Bass

      At the end of each song there is a link back to this page.

    Here is a list of the songs for rehearsals: Most of them you will already know but others are fairly new.
    Click on the link to go to the individual song.
    A few of the pieces have the sheet music printed but it is probably best if you use your own copy of the music.
    All the songs we are singing at the Christmas Concert are online. Try to rehearse as many as you can.

    If you cannot manage a rehearsal on a certain Friday then look at the link to the page about rehearsals which will give a list of the songs we sing on a particular Friday.

    All the songs we are singing are now complete.

    Please note: I have removed 2 of the songs; Suo Gan (Welsh Lullaby) and Christmas Sanctus. There will not be enough time to sing these.

    This page was last updated on Sunday 27th November.
