Here are the lyrics for the recital as requested. Please have your child work toward memorizing these lyrics:
May Joyful Music Fill the Air
May joyful music fill the air,
Bring peace to people everywhere.
This melody to you we sing,
That harmony to you we’ll bring.
With each new day our song shall bring,
The joy and peace of which we sing,
And with the dawning of the sun,
May love be shown to everyone.
May joyful music fill the air,
Bring peace to people everywhere.
This melody to you we sing,
That harmony to you we’ll bring.
May joyful music fill the air!
Fa, La, La, La, La
Deck the hall with sounds of laughter,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Let it touch the highest rafter,
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Heeding neither wind nor weather
Fa la la la la la la la la
Sing we songs of joy together
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Fa la la la la la la la
Angels we have heard, have heard on high.
Fa la la la la la la la,
Hear the mountains sing, in glad reply.
Fa la la la la la,
Fa la la la la,
Fa la la la la, Fa la la.
Fa la la la la la (X2)
My Favorite Things
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens,
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens,
Brown paper packages tied up with strings,
These are a few of my favorite things.
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels,
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles,
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings,
These are a few of my favorite things.
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes,
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes,
Silver white winters that melt into springs,
These are a few of my favorite things.
When the dog bites,
When the bee stings,
When I’m feeling sad,
I simple remember my favorite things,
And then I don’t feel so bad (X2)
