Holiday Sing!

American University of Beirut (AUB) Choir just completed two concerts following a week of nightly rehearsals; a singer's nirvana. Riikka inspired us to memorize the music, and did we ever!  Here are You Tube samplings of the music, sung by others:  Enjoy!

Imagine the setting:  inside Assembly hall; converted from a stone church... no sheet music... voices raised in joy... magnificence of it all...
