Subject: RE: New Holiday songs you are learning!
Genie--

Now there's a coincidence--I've just learned A La Nanita Nana also--I was told that perhaps Spanish-speaking people we might be singing for-- (since there are more and more in my neighborhood, as in many)--may be tired of Feliz Navidad. I'm not tired of it but some of my fellow (Anglo) carolers said they were. At any rate, A La Nanita Nana has much to recommend it--a haunting melody, and pretty easy words--it helps that the chorus is virtually a wordless lullaby.

So we sang it this year--I taught the chorus in 5 minutes to our group --(SATB door to door carolers--14th year in a row)-- and it went well.

It's always good--and fun-- to broaden repertoire.
