Turns:

Performed as:




Appogiatura's

Performed as:

Those are all in my Haydn Konzert (Concert)!! Thanks, jonno, I didn't know the names of all of those.

[RealmOfX]

YAY! I can take your fave off... as long as it's not Silent Night

Hmm anyone u don't want for the win?

No, actually I like them all

At this point I'm happy for any of them to win.

[Gate Girl]

Just don't get it mixed up with the Appoggiatura, which doesn't have the wee line through it.

We can have our own band here in the thread, and play all the Christmas songs!

Sounds like a great idea to me!

[Thunderstorm]

Round 16

Gloria in Excelsis Deo
Handel's Messiah
It Came Upon The Midnight Clear
Joy to the World
O Holy Night
O Little Town Of Bethlehem

My favorite decoration would be Christmas Lights. I love them. And multi-colored, not the boring one color lites (although those can look good on the outside). I've even got them on my little 1 foot tall Xmas Tree on top of my tv.

Smart people! I love smart people!

ROUND 14


Handel's Messiah
Joy to the World
O Come All Ye Faithful
O Little Town of Bethlehem
The First Noel

I missed a round I love O Holy Night, I think better than White Christmas ( at Ronja) but I like that one too .. it's getting hard to choose

I listened to my Mariah Carey Christmas Album today, the one she made in 1994 when she still made good singing sound instead of hacking her lung, she sang a pretty good version of O Holy Night too.

[Myn McGeek, Third Sentinel]

You forgot Australian! Kiddin

Indeed. Well we shall'nt go into my family history then, I'll depress the whole thread lol

A pony and a plastic rocket! And u ?

Hee... too true, too true. "Tootwue, to you too!" Heh, sorry 'bout that... CoN quote.

Hmmm... what DO I want? You know, I hadn't really thought about it.

Myn

got your sixes girl!!!


teehee!

Thanks!

Whoops. I thought Myn was a guy

Myn, do you mind giving your first name? A nickname? Something God would know you by besides, "That Myn person thing whatever on GW that asked me to pray for it, her, him, I'm really not sure what it is ... I'm praying for it ... thing. Whatever it is." I suppose I could check your profile and then I could at least narrow down your sex/gender.

Anywho! Myn's a girl???

Edit: WOW! The things you learn! Myn's a GIRL! I had no idea!
Okay then ... Wow! :;Shaking Myn's hand:: So great to meet you!

Adrianne

ROTFL!! Yep, I'm a girl.

*shakes Adrianne's hand* Great to meet you, too!

I'm sure God'll know who you're talking about if you just say Myn... Actually, Myn is a nickname... unless you want to call me Moo (which would be another one)... Heh, why don't we keep it at Myn.

*giggles again* I don't know why I find it so funny that you didn't know... Does Myn sound like a guy's name?

umm!!! yup!!!! but i like nuts!!!!

we were talking bout fams who feed us too much over the holiday!!!

and i don't like pecan pie either -- though my mom is supposed to make the best around???

teehee!

Oh, OK!

No worries, I'll light a candle for you.

Thanks!

Really? Only Catholics call it Mass? Didn't know that.

So, non-Catholics would call Mass, services? Actually, upon thinking about it, I think some of the Catholic churches I went to sometimes would refer to Mass as services.

Huh... never happened to me before. I think Adrianne's links explain it pretty well.

Wiki Mass

The New Advent: Catholic Encyclopedia

Adrianne

O Holy Night

This is my favorite part ...

Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices!

Adrianne

I love that song, too!! Don't worry, ainty, I definitely won't vote it out!

Round Thirteen Is Officially Over!!

Oh, no!!! I missed a round, again! *sniffle*

P.S. Raise your hand if you think I over-use the Multi-quote button...

[TheXym]

cool to see another music teacher here

I teach grade 7-12 chorus, music theory, music history, and music technology.

I'll abstain from voting, since I was late to join in. There's a little known work called "That Night" which I came across in Ron Huff's Cantata "Unto Us A Child Is Born" that is extremely powerful. I sang it with a semi professional chorus in '96, and I've used it as my winter concert closer since '99.
