Thread Name: Origins: Carol of the Bells (Shchedrik)
Subject: RE: Carol of the Bells (Shchedrik)
We did the carol last year. Our arrangement had "song." Choral directors seem to hate final s. That's because unless the choir's very careful, different singers sing the s at different times, and you hear s-s-s-s.
I'm in a church choir along with a number of instruments, and usually I can't tell that the congregation is singing until I hear the s-s-s coming from the pews.
