Adventssingen

Last night we had not one, but two singing programs for Advent.  Leif's Hirzenbach school performed songs from a variety of countries and languages.  They sang outside on the "Pauseplatz" of their school.


Here is the one that was his favorite:



And my favorite:

Hanna and Elisabet had a program in a nearby church. They sang mostly German songs, but the teachers performed "Lean on Me" in English and the older children sang "Walking in a Winter Wonderland" first all verses in German and then all verses in English. The piano accompaniment was a student and there were quite a few soloists on the flute, violin and piano.

Hanna's favorite, Leise rieselt der Schnee:

Elisabet's favorite- note how she is singing with gusto, Guten Tag liebe Leute:

And a classic, Rudolph, das Rentier:
