Who Wished for Snow on Christmas? (World Premiere Recording)

You're new favorite Christmas song is here. Hear the world premiere performance by the Gloucester County College Community Chorus. Conducted by yours truly. I know you want the sheet music too, so here you go: https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/who-wished-for-snow-on-christmas-digital-sheet-music/22397262 https://www.sheetmusicdirect.com/en-US/se/ID_No/1239229/Product.aspx 🎄🎁🎅❄☃️🌨🥶 The stockings are hanging with care. The mistletoe dangles above And carols are filling the air Our hearts full of caring and love But, despite all the holiday cheer, All these tidings so merry and bright, I won’t be enjoying this year, Since this Christmas is gonna be white! Who wished for snow on Christmas? Which one of you silly fools? It might have been great when we were eight, But now it isn’t so cool! Who wished for snow on Christmas? Let’s all blame Irving Berlin! It sounds great in the song, but he got it wrong, Oh, my patience is growing real thin! For we slip and we slide, tumble and glide, skidding all over the place Yes, we slide and we slip, stumble and trip ’til we all fall down flat on our face! Who wished for snow on Christmas? I hope you’ve made yourself proud! Travel’s stopped for the night, they’e cancelled our flight And my street still has yet to be plowed! Who wished for snow on Christmas? Pardon my sour attitude, But my plans have been dashed, this whole night is trashed This whole thing has ruined my mood! For we shovel and salt, shovel and salt, shovel and salt some more! Oh, we shovel and salt, shovel and salt, but it all looks the same as before! And so, there’ll be snow on Christmas, But I know that I’ll make it through ‘Cause its just me and my spouse, alone in our house Just think of the things we could do… My yuletide wish may come true… So, I think a thank you is due To whomever, if only I knew who wished for snow on Christmas.

In Retrospect

Rowan University Concert Choir performs "in Retrospect by Andrew Gavin. A Gleam of Sunshine by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow This is the place. Stand still, my steed, Let me review the scene, And summon from the shadowy Past The forms that once have been. The Past and Present here unite Beneath Time's flowing tide, Like footprints hidden by a brook, But seen on either side. Here runs the highway to the town; There the green lane descends, Through which I walked to church with thee, O gentlest of my friends! The shadow of the linden-trees Lay moving on the grass; Between them and the moving boughs, A shadow, thou didst pass. Thy dress was like the lilies, And thy heart as pure as they: One of God's holy messengers Did walk with me that day. I saw the branches of the trees Bend down thy touch to meet, The clover-blossoms in the grass Rise up to kiss thy feet, "Sleep, sleep to-day, tormenting cares, Of earth and folly born!" Solemnly sang the village choir On that sweet Sabbath morn. Through the closed blinds the golden sun Poured in a dusty beam, Like the celestial ladder seen By Jacob in his dream. And ever and anon, the wind, Sweet-scented with the hay, Turned o'er the hymn-book's fluttering leaves That on the window lay. Long was the good man's sermon, Yet it seemed not so to me; For he spake of Ruth the beautiful, And still I thought of thee. Long was the prayer he uttered, Yet it seemed not so to me; For in my heart I prayed with him, And still I thought of thee. But now, alas! the place seems changed; Thou art no longer here: Part of the sunshine of the scene With thee did disappear. Though thoughts, deep-rooted in my heart, Like pine-trees dark and high, Subdue the light of noon, and breathe A low and ceaseless sigh; This memory brightens o'er the past, As when the sun, concealed Behind some cloud that near us hangs Shines on a distant field. 🎹 🎼 🎤 🎻 🎺 🥁 Check out more on my website: https://www.ajbgmusic.com/ Follow me on social media!
