   INSTANTLY forwarded to our Music Director.

   I owe him one. We missed Wednesday choir practice before our Advent concert, so Emailed him to ask what the final lineup was.

   He responded “We will open with Sing to the Mountains, followed by Earthen Vessels, then move to Glory and Praise to Our God.”

   After I picked myself up off the office floor, I scrolled down and he revealed the actual lineup (chant, medieval and Renaissance polyphony). Whew! I thought either I had Emailed the “contemporary” “choir” director by mistake, or he’d lost his mind . . . . .

   They’re High School students. Still fun though.

   See this earlier version:

   Video is not all that good, but clearly the later performance was based on this one from “Pine Creek Methodist Church” almost a year earlier.

   There likely have been many earlier versions. Who was the real original genius behind it all?

    Happy St. Nicholas’ Day.

    This version is quite well done, from 2007:

    There appears to be a number of other similar performances recorded on YouTube.

    I went on ‘Servant and Steward’ [Fr. Daren Zehnle's blog] and ‘Creative Minority Report’ to watch this…it was hysterical! My eyes kept tearing up, but I couldn’t laugh out loud because I was watching it at the library!

    Very creative, especially with the ‘foot cards’!

    Wonder what Handel would think of this….
