These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Chamber Ensemble Concert

Tune the strings and lift the bow.
Music now will quickly flow.
Skills are trained and daily grow
to show what God has done.

With Tchaikovsky we would say,
"The Nutcracker is played today."
Conductor we must all obey,
if the concert will be won.

Have some fun! Enjoy the night.
The Christmas season will be bright.
The gift of Joy is always right
to share with all our friends.

We've worked so hard. The end is near.
The songs displayed in tune and clear
will mean success, without one fear.
All done the palate cleanse.

New music soon we all should start,
but rest some time in mind and heart,
before we come to learn a part,
reflect in peace is always smart.
