Dear Reader,
First, I want to thank you for purchasing this eBook. It has been adream of mine for a long time to write and share my own visions and help those who teach and homeschool their own children.
Second, I want to welcome you to In All You Do. I don't take my little corner of the web lightly and I am so grateful for each and every reader who visits my site.
This musical study is one that has been on my heart and in my head for a while, but only recently came to fruition with these Christmas tunes. I hope this will be the first of several in a series that will release throughout the year in 2016.
This unit is not meant to fulfill any credit, but could be used as part of a Music Appreciation course or as a stand alone unit. In this unit you will find a brief history of each song, a listening guide for that song with a variety of styles to listen and compare as well as a Venn Diagram. Feel free to print as many of those diagrams as you need to compare and contrast the different styles for each song. I have also included some generalnotebooking pages for students to use when listening and/or doing research on a song. There are several notebooking pages to record information on the composers of the pieces, should you choose to do so with older students. Lastly, you will find blank notebooking pages that can be used in a variety ofways.
Again, I want to thank you for your purchase. Please feel free toemail me if you have ideas of something you would like to see in the future.
Blessings

History of "Angels We HaveHeard on High"
This beloved Christmas carol is French in origin,written by an unknown author. It is based on atraditional French carol, Les Anges dans noscampagnes, literally translated "Angels in ourcountryside." The song celebrates the birth ofJesus Christ according to the Gospel of Luke,where Luke writes that shepherds were out intheir field and shown a multitude of angels
singing and praising the newborn King.The song has received many adjustments andvariations through the years, but the most
common English version was translated in 1862by James Chadwick, the Roman Catholic Bishopof Hexham and Newcastle in northeast England.

Listening Exercise:
There are several variations of this piece. Listen to all of them separately and record what you hear for each piece.Do not tell them what they are going to hear. Allow them to listen and decide what they hear - instruments, rhythm, voices, etc. Then, listen to them back to back and use the Venn Diagram to compare and contrast what you hear. Click on the links below to hear the different versions.
I recommend listening to the pieces without the video (at first). Videos can be distracting, so just allow them to listenand soak up the music. Some of these videos are amateurs, but they show different styles and rhythms that I felt was important to compare and contrast.

History of "Carol of the Bells"
This song is a popular tune composed byMykola Leontovych in 1904. The song is basedon a tradtional folk chant known in Ukrainianas "Shchedryk". It was first performed in the
United States by the Ukrainian National Choruson October 5, 1921 at Carnegie Hall. Later a
copyrighted text was created by PeterWilhousky in the 1930's. The original work wasintended to be sung acapella by a mixed, four-
voice choir. There are two other versionscreated by Leontovych: one for women's choir(unaccompanied) and one for children's choirwith piano accompaniment. Both are rarely
performed or recorded.
