On Sunday, Holy Cross had it's annual Christmas Concert to celebrate the birth of our Lord. Both Ben and I were in it, he in the Chapel Choir and I in the Junior Choir. In all, there were 25 instrumentalists and three choirs: the Senior, Junior, and Chapel Choirs.
The Junior Choir sang Psallite (a song in Latin and German written by Michael Praetorius in the 16th century), Born 'Neath a Star, The Holly Carol, and a jazzy version of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen (in case you're wondering what I meant by "jazzy", the song included snapping and singing the syllable, "doom" - in this case referring to a bass guitar).
The orchestra played a few songs, as well as the Bell Choir (yes, the played Carol of the Bells). The Senior Choir and Chapel Choir performed their pieces, and then at the end of the concert, everyone sang as one massed choir. We sang O Holy Night, Away in a Manger, and last but definitely not least, the never-gets-old, Christmas tradition, Silent Night.
The concert was a complete success, and if you don't believe me, you can ask my friend Sydney (her blog is familypizzazz.blogspot.com), because she was there along with her great-grandmother and her father.
