Adult Cello Choir Holiday Gigs 2019

Here is the holiday music for any gigs this season. Land of our Fathers and Pirates of the Caribbean are also game, if all the parts are covered.

For the Holiday Concert Dec. 15 at 4pm, we will play:
Joy to the World
Chanukah

We Three Kings
We Wish You a Merry Christmas

For Nemours on 12/27 at 11am, we will play everything below IN THIS ORDER. Here is a document with directions for arriving at Nemours: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UXAvBoKdU7aFWxgUPDDUwucCcgXMIYaVdsiFauK6F9Y/edit?usp=sharing Please arrive by 10:45am and wear black, white and/or red. Festive holiday accessories are encouraged. Bring a stand and a chair if you are picky about what you sit on.

Please note that I found a new quartet version of Silent Night, and it is linked below. I changed the part assignments, also, so please check the document. I replaced The Holly and the Ivy with a corrected version Phil sent me, so please reprint it and Silent Night.

Adult Cello Choir @ Raymour & Flanigan Wed. Dec. 19, 7pm

Here is the holiday music for the gig. Probably we won’t play all of them. (I’ll let you know which ones soon.) They are very short, so we will probably play most of them. Plan to play ALL of the Trio Tapestry selections, please.

The “X” notes in the Beatles tunes are “chop” notes. Here’s an excellent video to teach you how to do this: https://youtu.be/QvSdj2Qmh74

Also, several alert cellists sent me information about the Corrette Suite. In case you’re wondering, there IS another movement, but I don’t have an arrangement of it. So we will only be learning the movements in the document below. Here is a YouTube playlist of all the music we’re playing: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_x7O6Uwhp8-EZWUV-Rfl2jgyf0DMwt8Y
