The Variations Choir had their annual Christmas Concert this weekend performing both Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon at Grace United Church.

The performance's theme this year was "Seasons of Song" and consisted of the choir singing songs that related to each season.

The songs first related to spring as they sang songs called "Happy Together", "Can't Help Falling in Love" and "We Rise Again". 

From there they sang "Take me Out to the Ball Game" , a melody of Beach Boy songs and "Homeward Bound" by Simon & Garfunkel to represent summer.

Next was Autumn which started with "Fields of Gold" and moved onto "Homeward Bound" by Marta Keen, "Y'all Come" and "Thankful".

To end off the night they sang eight winter and Christmas related songs.

  • Give me an Old-Fashioned Christmas- Mary McDonald
  • Song for a Winter's Night - Gordon Lightfoot
  • There is Peace- Jim Papoulis
  • Calypso Lullaby- Joel Raney & Jester Hairston
  • Oh, What a Glorious Night- Kenna Turner West, Tony Woods and Don Poythress
  • Swingin' Christmas- arr. Jay Althouse
  • Sing Gloria, Sing- Joel Raney
  • Comfort and Joy
