Is November too early to start playing Christmas carols?

Polish tend to celebrate Christmas quite early. It is a truly magical moment during the year. Everybody is waiting to get their presents, sit with their families at the dinner table, and enjoy their company and food during Christmas Eve. However, it only happens once a year, so most of the people want to prolong this period as long as they can. November in Poland is usually cold, and is associated with rain and sometimes snow. This leads us to thinking about the perfect atmosphere for big family gathering. What’s more, carols are the songs which are deeply rooted into Polish traditions, and we all think about them when there is lots of snow outside, and cities are decorated with flashing

    Chanukkah, the Jewish festival of rededication, also known as the festival of lights, is an eight-day festival beginning on the 25th day of the Jewish month of Kislev, is probably one of the best known Jewish holidays, not because of any great religious significance, but because of its proximity to Christmas. Many non-Jews and even many assimilated Jews, think of this holiday as the Jewish Christmas, adopting many of the Christmas customs, such as elaborate gift-giving and decoration. It is ironic that this holiday, which has its roots in a revolution against assimilation and the suppression of Jewish religion, has become the most assimilated, secular holiday on their calendar. Therefore, the story of Chanukkah begins in the reign of Alexander…

    Music is a fundamental part of my being and has always been in my life. Remembering songs my grandparents sang to me such as “You are my Sunshine” or recalling stories my mother would tell about me, like the time I performed for a whole restaurant at the age of three are alway the first memories to be dug out of my mind. There is a warmth and fondness I feel every time I think of them. The link to all of these memories are music. Before joining the JBHS choir…

    Johann Sebastian Bach was a genius composer. His influence was felt everywhere. But a little over a century and a half ago, his music and reputation suffered from anonymity, practically unknown to all except a few professionals, and both Bach and Felix Mendelssohn’s families. Over the second decade of the 19th century in Berlin, Bach’s sons, along with Sarah Itzig, a talented musician and Mendelssohn’s great aunt, obtained his manuscripts and contracted Bach’s work. Meanwhile, Bella Salomon, Mendelssohn’s grandmother, supported Bach’s work “the story of St. Matthew Passion” in her salon.…

    This past Sunday I attended the school play, which was a comedy based along the storylines of The Christmas Carol. I noticed many people from the community brought their children along for the comedy. For someone who doesn’t really care for plays, or Christmas it was somewhat interesting to go into the play having doubts beforehand and coming out of it with a different view. The exposition started off the same as The Christmas Carrol.…

    Native American Music When contemplating different topics for this paper, I was trying to decide which type of music would be of the most interest to me. After thinking about the numerous subjects that I could write about, I decided to research and further my understanding of Native American Music. I have chosen to write about Native American Music because I myself am from Native American decent. It really made me think twice about my understanding of the subject when you asked us in class who was of Native American decent, then asked who knew anything about the culture, the music, or their way of life. Therefore, I have chosen to research Native American music in regards to the music, the culture, and their way of life.…

    Upon seeing A Christmas Carol on the night of Friday, November 18th, I had what I thought to be a firm understanding of the Charles Dicken’s classic. It was until the show was over that I realized my previous interpretation was completely senseless, with little to no opinion deriving beyond the script. As I dove into the performance in the Joan C, Edwards playhouse, I made personal connections that I had never made before when watching other adaptions of A Christmas Carol, in particular Scrooge (1970), my father’s favorite. Every detail of this performance aided in my overwhelming positive review, asserting this play as my favorite of all the revisions I have seen.…
