So they said they've added some new songs this year so if anyone's been do you know what the setlist is?

Rachel K. Has see. The show already, she should know

Any word yet on that setlist?

Wow! Lots of Voices of Angels songs! Getting the VoA tour started early?

Mo Ghile Mear AND Across the World! My two favourite Voices of Angles songs!

OMG this whole set list looks amazing!

That's it. I officially have no chance of functioning for the next week and a half. The excitement has completely taken over!

Gonna see Celtic Woman!

Let's

Get

CWAZYYYYYYY!!!!

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

Let us know who sings what if you can! It's my understanding that they've changed things up. I know in the Grammy vid they mentioned Eabha singing Silent Night. I wonder if they meant she starts the new VOA version or if she's singing it solo.

Yeah I'm curious to know too. :)

My memory won't be good enough most likely, but I'll try to remember who at least performs each one and maybe between a few of us we can piece the rest together.

Which version of Mo Ghile Mear?

Greensleeves or What Child is This?

They finally consider bringing more new classics in as Deck the halls, could Jingle Bells ever pop out one day.  Exciting newsomes!

Lol.

Since some may actually not be aware, technically it's "What Child Is This," the lyrics of which were set to the tune of "Greensleeves."

Yes, it is. SO which lyrics were used? It's kind of odd for a Christmas show to use the melody of a Christmas song, but different lyrics. On the other hand, I love Greensleeves so incredibly much and always wanted CW to do it... I am very curious! I wish it was on Voices of Angels. Also - Deck the Halls? Cool!

I would have loved to hear My Heart Will Go On! I guess I will have to wait for the Spring tour to hear it! HA

HFC 2016 Setlist


Here's the set list from the show in Saginaw, including the principal performers in each song. Mostly accurate, at least.

Murphy's Mistletoe Overture (orchestra)

It's Beginning to Look Like Christmas (all)

Deck the Halls (all)

The Christmas Song (Susan? Not 100% sure. Something happened to muly note's of the first 3 songs)

Silent Night (Eabha)

We Three Kings (Mairead and Anto) ... Mairead was ridiculously awesome in this song. I wish I took a video.

Across the World (Tara) ... I have to say, the crowd was not getting involved like they were in the Facebook live stream. They liked it, but I was literally the only person in the theatre who was clapping audibly that I could hear.

O Holy Night (all singers ... there was one song where just the singers but not Tara. It was right after Across the World, probably to give Tara a breather but they switched the order of some songs)

Once In Royal David's City (all)

Danny Boy (all)

Mo Ghile Mear (All) ... this was so good! VoA version.

Intermission (No Costume Change)

Carol of the Bells (All, Tara opens)

Santa Claus is Coming to Town (all)

What  Child Is This (tune of Greensleeves) (Tara) ... wow!

My Heart Will Go on (All) ... once you've heard the story before the song ... oh Boyes, you're gonna cry...

Ave Maria (Mairead Carlin)

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas (All)

It Came Upon a Midnight Clear (All)

White Christmas (All)

Let it Snow (All)

You Raise Me Up (All)

Joy to the World (All)

Auld Land Syne (All + Anto)

OMG I wish I could go see this shooooowwwww! It sounds AMAZING!

Someone that saw the show yesterday mentioned Tara played Away In A Manger (and it apparently was extremely good).

I actually don't remember if that was in the show I saw.

I had a cue card with all the songs on it and a pen, but forgot both of them.  :-[

I was trying to pull up the set list in the theatre to work with, but it took a while to get Wi-Fi working (there was something wrong with their DHCP, so I had to assign myself a static IP address in the same subnet that wasn't already in use ... took a while).

Anyways, I didn't want to spend all my time typing the song name and who performed it, so I had a short form to write out who was in each song, in order, without the song names. For the most part, it worked, but for instances where they may have tweaked the set list, the method I used had limitations.
