[rodgersorgan] Re: Christmas music

Hi Rich-
       If you are looking for a "doozy", this would certainly qualify!  Our 
choir is singing the Vivaldi "Gloria" on the first half of the concert, but the 
doozy comes in the second half.  We are singing Craig Courtney's "A 
Musicological Journey Through the 12 Days of Christmas"(Hinshaw Music), with 
each day 
being in the style of a certain period of music.  The 1st day is sung by the 
men in plainchant, 2nd day in the style of 15th century France (my guys are 
singing it in their falsetto voice!), etc, with the progression of musical 
styles 
ending on the 12th day with 20th century American music (Sousa's "Stars and 
Stripes Forever" tune).  Our choir absolutely loved it in our choir retreat 
last 
weekend.  There is a pre-existing orchestration, but I am scoring it for our 
Vivaldi orchestra and a Rodgers 967 with PRS-300.  Does this qualify for a 
"doozy"?
