For 30 years, give or take, The Christmas Singers have delighted audiences at the Morristown United Methodist Church with a repertoire ranging from silly to sublime.
Today’s episode of Happy Virtual Holidays starts with the sublime.
There Shall Come Forth was written by R. Wayne Walters, longtime director of the Morris Choral Society. He performed it in 2018 with fellow Christmas Singers Patricia Ruggles, Elena T. Bird and Robert Long, accompanied by church Music Director Sarah A. Michal on vocals, Jennifer Yang on piano and Mariam Bora on recorder.
On the lighter side… Merry Christmas, Mozart! Also from 2018, with mostly the same lineup:
Last but not least, The Christmas Singers sing the praises of… Cherry Pie. This one goes back quite a few years, and features founding member June Van Thoen with Walters, Ruggles and Darren O’Neill.
Join us tomorrow as Happy Virtual Holidays approaches the finish line, as we mine Morristown Green’s video vault for memories to brighten dark days.
