The first piece we were given is called Rejoice the Season, this one lookes relatively easy to me. The only thing that could be a challege is being on beat for all the little high triplets. There is also time changes in this song so that is something I am gonna have to look out for as well. The last thing for that song would be to carry out with all of the crescendos and slurs because there is a lot of both. The next song is How the Grinch stole christmas, which I am so so excited for! I will have to really pay attention to staccatos and slurs because they switch off throughout the song. In this song their also a lot of sharps and naturals that are thrown into the song. Overall this song will be fairly easy I think. The third piece given to us is Once in Royal David's City. This one has a lot of triplets and descending scales which can be tough depending on the speed of the song. There are many key changes, I need to highlight those or else I will forget about them! I also feel as if there is a lot of style changes in this song so that could be a bit of a challenge. The final, and probably the most difficult piece, is Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24. This song has a lot of accents and slurs in it. I think it will take a lot to get everyone on beat because it seems there will be many things going on, but I have no idea yet. I do want to know how fast this song is because the descending and ascending notes at the end of the song may be difficult! I cannot wait to play all of these songs and see how my impressions change once we play them!
