I volunteer in the school my dc attended, so this will be the 13th? 14th? Christmas show I've been involved in. It is done beautifully every year, I make no criticism of that. But it's always one of the Out Of The Ark shows, or similar.
The songs are sometimes just so dull or laboured. Why, when there are so many beautiful traditional Christmas songs?
When my eldest went to secondary and joined the Chamber Choir, she was absolutely blown away by the carols she learned there. She even asked me why she hadn't been taught them at primary, where the music teacher was an excellent peripatetic with incredibly high standards and successes.
Her choir friends, who came from other local schools, also did not know any of the traditional songs. Except for the churchgoers.
Why are we ignoring our cultural heritage in this way?
