Special Songs to Celebrate Christmas at Osborne House
Southampton & Isle of Wight is delighted to present a mini KS1 Christmas songbook and story written for us by Island composer Pam Wedgwood about Christmas at Osborne in Victorian times! Pam has written may incredible musical resources for schools and we are so lucky to have her as an Island resident now and she may well make an appearance on the day to hear your wonderful performances if you are taking part in the event at Osborne this term.
Here you will find vocal track and backing track versions of both songs, The Christmas Star and A Right Royal Christmas Lunch. Alongside that you will also find a small script with the song lyrics and some suggestions for how to stage along with some additional handbell parts which could be played on any tuned percussion (glockenspiels, chime bars).
Feel free to use this in school but please credit Southampton & Isle of Wight Music and composer Pam Wedgwood and let us know about your performances so we can share them too!
