I am sure all of you have your holiday list of music ready to go during this time of year. I started getting requests for Christmas music before Thanksgiving, which I suppose is quite common. I personally try to wait to listen to holiday music until after my Thanksgiving meal, but I will definitely break that rule if someone requests it. :)
The holiday season is definitely my favorite time of the year. There is so much joy to be experienced and to share with others. Lots of people have been waiting all year to hear their favorite holiday tune again. There is nothing else quite like singing a beloved holiday song with your group members and seeing the excitement in their eyes.
It has been fun to see all of the suggestions I have gotten so far. Here are just some of the requests I have gotten from clients ranging in age from school age children to older adults:
- Adeste Fideles
- Angels We Have Heard on High
- Frosty the Snowman
- God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
- Hallelujah (Pentatonix version)
- Here Comes Santa Claus
- It’s Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas
- Jingle Bells
- Little Drummer Boy
- O Holy Night
- Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree
- Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
- Silent Night
- Silver Bells
- Up on the Housetop
- Winter Wonderland
While my personal list of favorite holiday songs is much longer than this, it has been interesting to hear what my clients and students are most often wishing to sing.
What holiday tunes do you get requests for most often? Let us know in the comments!
Thanks for reading,
