Welcome! We are proud to bring you the ninth annual

Gingerbread Holiday Concert .

Each year our audience grows as more and more

parents and grandparents bring children to celebrate

the holidays and share a musical afternoon with

friends and fami ly.

Maestro Albert-George Schram, musical director and

conductor, leads this afternoon 's program performed

by our superb Lynn Philharmonia Orchestra. Your

ticket purchase or sponsorship to today's concert

benefits one of the finest conservatories of music

within a university environment. Without your support,

our talented conservatory students, who hail from

around the world and comprise one of the most

internationally diverse student bodies in the country,

would not be able to receive the university's high level

of music performance education .

Today's concert is made possible through the

leadership of Sylvia Oliver, Asa Loof and Deanna

Wheeler. We are grateful to them, and all the Friends

of the Conservatory of Music, for their dedication in

making this event one of Boca Raton 's most beloved

annual holiday traditions.

Thank you for celebrating the holidays with us and for

your support of the Conservatory of Music. From our

Lynn University family to yours, happy holidays!

The Friends of the Conservatory of Music

promote high quality performance education for exceptionally talented young

musicians. For some students, meeting the costs associated with a first-rate music

performance education can be highly challenging. This dedicated group provides

financial support for many annual and endowed scholarships. Since its

establishment in 2003, the Friends has raised significant funds through annual gifts

and special events. Today's Gingerbread Holiday Concert is chief among them.

The Lynn University Conservatory of Music One of the leading conservatories within a university environment, the Lynn

the highest honors at international competitions and join leading orchestras and

prominent faculties around the globe.

symphonic training. Now in its 20th season as a full symphony, the Philharmonia is

an integral part of the education of the conservatory's graduate and undergraduate

music students. Each year, the Philharmonia presents a high quality concert series

with a w ide range of repertoire.

Sing-A-Long

Let It Snow

Oh the weather outside is frightful ,

But the fire is so delightful,

And since we've no place to go,

Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

It doesn't show signs of stopping,

And I've bought some corn for popping,

The lights are turned way down low,


When we final ly kiss goodnight,

How I'll hate going out in the storm!

But if you'll really hold me tight,

All the way home I'll be warm.

The fire is slowly dying,

And, my dear, we 're still good-bying ,

But as long as you love me so,


Jingle Bell Rock Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell rock

Jingle Bells swing and Jingle Bells ring

Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun

Now the Jingle Hop has begun

Jingle Bell , Jingle Bell , Jingle Bell rock

Jingle Bells chime in Jingle Bell time

Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square

in the frosty air

What a bright time, it's the right time

To rock the night away

Jingle Bell time is a swell time

To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh

Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet

Jingle around the clock

Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet

That's the Jingle Bell,

That's the Jingle Bell ,

That's the Jingle Bell Rock

The Christmas Song Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,

Jack Frost nipping at your nose,

Yuletide carols being sung by a choir,

And folks dressed up like Eskimos.

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe,

Help to make the season bright.

Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow,

Will find it hard to sleep tonight.

They know that Santa's on his way;

He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh.

And every mother's child is going to spy,

To see if reindeer really know how to fly.

And so I'm offering this simple phrase,

To kids from one to ninety-two,

Although it 's been said many times, many ways,

Merry Christmas to you .

All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth,

my two front teeth , see my two front teeth!

Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth ,

then I could wish you Merry Christmas.

It seems so long since I could say,

Sister Susie sitting on a thistle!

Gosh oh gee, how happy I'd be,

if I could only whistle (thhhh, thhhh)

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth ,

my two front teeth , see my two front teeth.

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth,

then I could wish you Merry Christmas!

Christmas!

I'll Be Home for Christmas I'll be home for Christmas,

You can plan on me.

Please have snow and mistletoe

and presents on the tree

Christmas Eve will find me

Where the love light gleams

I'll be home for Christmas

If only in my dreams

Once an Austrian Went Yodeling Once an Austrian went yodeling

On a mountain so high

When he met with an avalanche

Interrupting his cry

Ho-Ii-ah Ho-le-rah-hi-hi-ah

Ho-le-rah-cuckoo

(Rumble, rumble)

Once an Austrian went yodeling


When he met with a skier



Ho-le-rah-cuckoo

(Swoosh, Rumble rumble)



When he met with a St. Bernard



Ho-le-rah-cuckoo

(Arf, arf, swoosh, Rumble rumble)



When he met with a grizzly bear



Ho-le-rah-cuckoo

(Grr, Arf, arf, swoosh, Rumble rumble)



When he met with a milking maid



Ho-le-rah-cuckoo

(Tss, tss, grr, Arf, arf, swoosh,

Rumble rumble}



When he met with a pretty girl



Ho-le-rah-cuckoo

(Smack, smack, Tss, tss, grr,

Arf, arf, swoosh, Rumble rumble}

0 Come All Ye Faithful 0 Come, all ye faithful,

Joyful, and triumphant,

0 come ye, 0 come ye to Bethlehem;

Come and behold him

Born the King of Angels;

0 come, let us adore him,



Christ the Lord!

God of God, Light of Light,

Lo! He abhors not the Virgin's womb;

Very God, Begotten, not created:




Christ the Lord!
