Some of these are beyond the normal Christmas carols & hymns. I'll give you the answers in a couple of days. :)


THINK YOU KNOW YOUR CHRISTMAS MUSIC???

All of the songs are listed in alphabetical order by their real titles, excluding the words “and” and “the”. Also, any songs beginning with the word “Oh” or “O” are spelled “O” for consistency. There are traditional carols and hymns, modern seasonal songs, advent anthems, madrigals, and several from Handel’s Messiah. There are even several ringers from Benjamin Britten’s Old English carol collection (No…I couldn’t come up with a clue for Balulalow!!!) Good luck!!!! :^p~~~~~~~~~~!



7) Tucked amid wood and straw in the distance

According to Z Pup Pup Boogie..... I think one of posted already that she did add that to the song on Sunday.
 
I know I'm slow, but I just released the stupidity of the Hanukkah songs that our teacher made us sing for the Christmas concert in elementary school. Not a holiday concert, but a Christmas concert.

Maybe I'm just tired, but I didn't understand either of the last two posts here (Rev & BC).


It finally struck me (35 years later) that several songs we sang for our elementary Christmas concert, around 5th grade, was Jewish Hanukkah songs. The music teacher said they were songs Jewish people sung for Christmas. She didn't last long and we never did it again. It finally struck me when I saw your list and there is this Hanukkah song I keep humming to myself. I had to play the xylophone for it. When I get in the Christmas mood, I'd sing it. I knew better, but I finally realized why I always hummed it for Christmas music.
 
I spent 3 summers working with the scouts and the USFS fixing portage trails in the Boundary Waters (better summer gig than teaching) and was intrigued by the idea of winter camping. I learned a lot, particularly about applied thermodynamics. Trial by ice and fire, if you will.

Winter camping was a true test of will against the elements. The beauty of the wilderness can really be appreciated in the silence of winter. I recommend that everyone try it once.
Fellow chemist?! What year did you graduate ISU?

The list was done for an annual open house we attend after Christmas Eve services...most of the attendees are choir members who have sung together for many years, and also participated in high school & college choirs/bands/orchestras (which is why there are some tougher ones in there). I have some secular songs on the list, but I don't think there are any Hanukkah-specific songs. Other than falling around the same time of year, the two religious observances really have no connection. :)
 
2005.
Biochemist, so across the street from Gilman. I lived on 4th floor of Moly Bio for 2 years for my MS.
2000 here. Chemistry, so I spent most of my college life in Gilman Hall. Who did you have for Organic Chem? I had Trahanovsky, who was also my counselor.

Didn't mean you had anything. I just saw the list and starting humming it and that's when I realized it. I'm not good at Christmas stuff. Not a very big fan of the holidays, probably since I had my big Christmas years during the farm crises. Also having a 5 year older sister that wanted to destroy any mythical things for her younger brother didn't help.

I know. I was just explaining the origins of the list and the reasons for what was/was not included. :)

I actually did my undergrad in WI (UW-Eau Claire) so the only folks I ever ran into from Gilman were on my POS committee, Keith Woo and Jacob Petrich.
