Here is this week's update. Please read carefully as there is lots of information as we head into concert week.***Scheduling Note: Tuesday's rehearsal will be held at Elim Park. Please assemble in the old chapel. We may move into Nelson Hall as the rehearsal progresses as it is available to us as well.***1. We ran the entire concert on Tuesday. Each of us needs to clean up our own trouble spots.2. I think we all know that Banquet Fugue needs our attention. Practice! The accompaniment doesn't help with parts. We all need to count and watch Lisa.3. Lisa says to go over the words. We have the notes now, but are getting tripped up on words.4. Lisa also says to make sure we support the Glorias in Ding Dong Merrily on High. They're a capella.6. We will be singing at the tree lighting again this year. Fran will give us the specifics.7. The afterglow party will be held on Tuesday, December 3rd at Sally Ziegler's house at 6:30pm. Please bring an appetizer or a dessert.8. We will give a short concert for the residents at Highland in December. Date yet to be determined . . .9. The lyrics to See Amid . . . that I typed up for myself are included in the comments. It spells out what to sing. Please remember that the notations are for my part - soprano 1. Feel free to edit to reflect your part. Thanks to Fran for this idea. It does help.

See Amid the Winter’s Snow
Verse 1: solo
See amid the winter’s snow, born for us on earth below
See the tender lamb appears, promised from eternal years.
Hail, thou ever blessed morn!
Hail redemption’s happy dawn!
Sing through all Jerusalem,
Christ is born in Bethlehem.
Verse 2: choir 1 solo
Choir 2 sing
Lo within a manger lies he who built the starry skies.
He who throned in height sublime sits amid the cherubim.
Hail, thou ever blessed morn!
Hail redemption’s happy dawn!
Sing through all Jerusalem,
Christ is born in Bethlehem.
Verse 3: sing with altos
Say ye holy shepherds, say what your joyful news today.
Wherefore have ye left your sheep on the lonely mountain steep?
Hail, thou ever blessed morn!
Hail redemption’s happy dawn!
Sing through all Jerusalem,
Christ is born in Bethlehem.
Verse 4: Tenors and Basses
As we watched at dead of night, lo we saw a wondrous light.
Angels singing told us of the savior’s birth.
Hail, thou ever blessed morn!
Hail redemption’s happy dawn!
Sing through all Jerusalem,
Christ is born in Bethlehem.
Verse 5: choir 1 solo
Choir 2 sing
Sacred infant, all divine, What a tender love was thine,
Thus to come from highest bliss down to such a world as this.
Hail, thou ever blessed morn!
Hail redemption’s happy dawn!
Sing through all Jerusalem,
Christ is born in Bethlehem.
Verse 6: sing in unison
Teach oh teach us, holy child, by thy face so meek and mild
Teach us to resemble thee in thy sweet humility.
Sing choir 1:
Hail, thou ever blessed morn!
Hail redemption’s happy dawn!
Sing Choir 2:
Sing through all Jerusalem,
Christ is born in Bethlehem.
