The Barn was ready decorated for Christmas when we gathered there for this month’s evening of festive singing. We pretty much sang through all the seasonal songs in our song book - but left the Wassail songs for our January session. Emily revisited an old carol, “Ideo”, which had been briefly tried by us in a Worthing session a couple of Christmas' ago. A lovely song, agreed by all, and worth giving more time to next winter. Emily also brought a few Rounds for us to to try, all on a winter theme, which were fun to sing and with 29 voices working together they sounded great. As well as “Hey Ho Winter Snow" and "I Heard a Bird Sing” the additional Rounds tried were “Frost in the Morning”, and “Gather Round the Fire”. A break allowed for mince pies and other treats to be shared (thanks for these contributions) before, duly refreshed, we sang out the rest of the evening. We closed with seasonal good wishes between us all and hopes that the new year will bring more settled times for the SDFS, and for everyone.
(All being well our next Worthing session will be at the Barn again on the second Tuesday in January (January 12th) - but please keep and eye on the news and diary pages of our new Blog in case of any change to plans.)
