Choral Choir (SSA) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.887976 Composed by Graham Yates. Children,Christmas,Contemporary,Standards. Octavo. 8 pages. Graham Yates #6027209. Published by Graham Yates (A0.887976). For 2 soloists, children's choir (or treble choir, or mixed choir), and piano accompaniment. Approx. 3:42.I first began writing a Christmas carol about the Covid-19 pandemic in March of 2020 when it seemed unfathomable that the global social distancing measures could last until Christmas. First drafts, therefore, were upbeat and whimsical. The song was completed in May 2020, however, and not only did it seem likely that lockdowns could extend not only to Christmas, but beyond – until a treatment or a vaccine could be found. Though obviously written with this contemporary situation in mind, Holding on for Christmas avoids direct references to remain a universal message of hope despite hopeless circumstances. Through its imagery of a Nativity story told wrong, of an individual facing unexplained solitude, and of enduring a winter in order to experience brighter days ahead, the song can apply to many cryptic or overt scenarios.
