Christmas is Coming

This year, I'm heading back to the South East to visit family for Christmas. We haven't all been together in.... well, I can't remember when. It's been that long.

Yesterday, I recieved a cryptic e-mail from my mother. It included a link to something she ordered and was having shipped to my house, and the words "Practice! Bring the CD with you. - M". Following that link, I discovered that she ordered Christmas sheet music for viola with an accompanying CD. It is due to arrive in the next week or two.

Apparently, my mother and sister were sitting around having a glass of wine discussing the upcoming Christmas holiday, when they started trying to remember the lyrics to various Carols. So they went online... one thing turned into another and now I have this sheet music being shipped to my house, with a familial demand for Christmas musical entertainment. They way my sister explained it was that either they bought me sheet music for what THEY wanted to listen to, or listen to me play through light-hearted music like Bach or Brahms. (sarcasm intended)

I wonder if I could play these Carols in the style of Bach or Brahms. Sounds like a fun last lesson before the Christmas holiday ;)

I know for a fact that there is a piano book that has Christmas songs in the style of Lizst, Beethoven, Mozart etc. I will have to dig that one up and get back to you. That was my favorite book.. it has been a few years ago; maybe by now they have one for strings.
