    Hello
    One year ago I tried to start a thread which should be filled up with links to you and your musical contribution > Christmas Music played by VSL.
    The echo was devastating! To make it short: The project was a „still birth“!

    So this year I don’t want any thing from you. No, far from it: I offer something.
    As you know, I am teaching children aged 9 - 12.
    Christmas Time = Christmas Songs...

    My Offer:
    Just for fun - one of the first rehearsals - let’s try:
    Please enjoy the natural musicians who give their very best - again and again...
    Silent Night Holy Night [:D]

    I suggest that I’ll organize a journey to Vienna with my class.
    That’ll be the choir for VSL.
    Though there are two problems:
    1. How to record spiccato, staccato, 0.3s, 0.5s?
    2. The Silent Stage has first to convert into „The Noisy Stage“

    All the best from Switzerland

    Beat,
    A charming renditiion!
    Sounds like the children were enjoying themselves.

    If possible, can you post a later version when they're closer to performance time?
    I liked the arrangement too, and the atonal contrapunctal movement by the children was ....erm, interesting!

    Regards to you, and good luck for the kids,

    Alex.

    Beat,

    Incredibly cute and very heartwarming. I can't wait for the for the perf_rep giggle patch in the new children's VI; I would use it on those days after dealing with a particularly trying cue approval session!

    Oh, and Happy Hanukkah from all of us at Fox News (American joke, there).
