2016 Christmas Concert Music -
Looking at the song for the first time...
Rejoice The Season! - When I first looked at this song I thought it was overall not difficult to play. I think the one thing I will have to work on for this song is the constant high notes.
How The Grinch Stole Christmas Concert Melody - At first look, I saw that there were plenty of slurs and staccatos. Growing up, I always watched this movie during Christmas time so I know how the songs go. I think this will be a really fun piece to learn and play.
Once in Royal David's City - This song has a different key signatures. This song starts in the key of Bb and then changes to F#. At the end of the song, it changes to Concert C. This will be a little difficult to go from the different scales, but it's always nice to have a little challenge. This song doesn't go that high in notes, so I think it will be pretty easy to play.
Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24 - I think that this piece will be the hardest out of the 4. It has a lot of runs and accidentals towards the end of the song. In the beginning of the song, the pace is pretty slow, but then suddenly it doubles in speed.

Playing the song for the first time...
Rejoice The Season! - For our first time playing this, I didn't think we did awful. We had the main idea of the song and how it goes. I liked the tempo we played at. Around 108 I got lost, but I picked back up around 117. I think this song will be super fun to play in conc
