Danke sehr, Wilfried.

That is certainly different, having the half-note intervals at 'alles schlaeft, einsam wacht.' At least, that's not how we do it in America. I've printed it out to show my friends.

We celebrated Christmas on the 24th (mass followed by dinner) the 25th (dinner at a friend's) and on January 1st (hor d'ouevres plus a music session with emphasis on the Magi.) The Christmas season seems like a good time to remember St, John, because of friendship and St Stephen because of charity.

Guest, I'm glad to hear that you like my little innovation. (Though I'm sure someone else has thought of it and done it before, sometime, somewhere.) I am all in favor of anything that involves getting out one's instrument.

Em, of course, is one the the usual, customary and legitimate chords of the D family.
