Grandaughter Kristin's last concert, Dec. 19, held in the director's LDS Stake Center downtown Salt Lake City. "Angel O'er the Fields," French Carol. This is the Wednesday Choir, made up of beginners, like Kristin, who auditioned and began singing in the choir this past September, and half who began a year ago. They range in age from 8-12. They all learn to read music and sing without accompaniment during their weekly hour and 30 minute rehearsals. Pause the background music below before playing the videos.

This is the Tuesday Choir, noticeably older and more experienced. They are singing another familiar French Carol, "Il est ne le divin Enfant". This brought chills in the Cathedral of the Madeliene performance. Not too bad here, either.
"Lo, how a rose ere blooming"! Grand nephew, Tyson Buxton, handed this as a rose bud to me at the Buxton Christmas party two weeks ago. Look how beautiful on Christmas morn!

Seven out of nine not too bad...Camron wouldn't join them, and Makenna didn't make it in time.
All together again.
