Rehearsal Notes
- Angels’ Carol
- Part I is sung by the men; Part II by the women (change made on October 30).
- Light Up The Tree
- Part I is sung by the men; Part II by the women.
- There is a misprint in measures 32-33. Part II is written as resting for those two measures, but it should just continue in unison with Part I through measure 34. Measure 35 is where the parts divide.
- Of the Father’s Love Begotten
- Measure 23: We will stick with the original “Holy Ghost” (we won’t change to “Holy One” as mentioned on October 2).
- Reindeer On The Roof
- Part I is sung by the men; Part II by the women.
- A soloist will sing the verse, and the choir will sing only the chorus in measures 21-37 and 58-78.
- In measures 37-38 and 73-74, change “I will call my Ma and Pa” to “I’ll take selfies of it all.”
- In measure 43 (soloist only), change “parents” to “children”
- Twelve Days to Christmas
- A quartet of carolers will sing the first 30 measures of the song, and each of the interludes. They will also be providing some narration.
- Measures 52-59 (2nd verse): The new lyrics differ from those on the practice track (1:30-1:37). The lyrics sheets (posted above) have the new lyrics: “These are the people who live their lives like they have planned. These are the people who shop in time that we can hardly stand!”
- The four verses starting in measure 31 are all written in the same key, but the key changes up a half step at the end of each verse. So verse 1 is in the key of E as written, but verse 2 is in F, verse 3 is in F♯, and verse 4 is in G.
- In the (hopefully final) printing distributed on October 16, the first note of measure 85 is an E, not the printed F♯. Also, in measure 105, the notes are a sixth lower than written, just like all the other verses in measure 59.
- For the last note of the song (starting in measure 117), just choose one of the four notes written in the chord.
