2009 Tescos
A list of the carols that we will sing is given below.
They are all from the white book 100 Carols for Choirs and I've listed them as
they appear in the book; you will see they are the best known ones. Apart
from noting the occasional omitted verse, the only complication is what to do
about the carols with a descant. Because we are unaccompanied, we can’t do
those verses so | have noted in each case how to avoid the descant music.
Remember folders (good advert).
Please print off the details and bring them on Thursday. We have been asked
to appear ‘Christmassy’.

We shall sing these carols again and again until the throw mince pies at us. At
your suggestion we can change things round a bit for variety.
See you at 6.20pm or as soon as you can after that. Don’t worry about being
late if you're a worker. Last year we were finished before 8pm.
