MSC Singers: Folk Song Choral Arrangements for Christmas

This fall we will explore and learn four folksong choral arrangements that celebrate the Christmas holiday. These choral arrangements include such pieces as “I Saw Three Ships,” “I Wonder as I Wander,” and other famous songs of seasonal celebration. Our plans also include presenting these pieces at the Chocolate Church’s “Sing! It’s Christmas” festival on December 18th.

Prerequisites: Participants will be asked to commit to most of these dates culminating in this event at the Chocolate Church. If you have choral singing experience, consider joining us.
