Christmas Uncarols

Over the last few days, the music in my life has been a broken record, repeating the same few Christmas carols over and over.

Life as a church musician is tough! I've attended seven Christmas services in the last five days, and they had almost identical music.

I'm not sure how many more times I can hear "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" a cappella, or "Joy to the World" with terribly sharp descants sung by tuckered-out sopranos.

Okay, so maybe the holidays aren't an appropriate time to be bitter, but seriously. Can we please get some new music?

  1. You should do "The Virgin Mary Had a Baby Boy".... on handbells!
