Someday at Christmas with Mark De Lisser

Cherry Drive, Syston, Leicester, LE7 2PT Telephone: (0116) 2608150 Fax: (0116) 2694308 Email: [email protected] Website: www.merton.leics.sch.uk Headteacher Deputy Headteacher Mr M Lee Ms S Lee Dear Parents/Carers, SOMEDAY AT CHRISTMAS WITH MARK DE LISSER We are very aware how the build up to Christmas will be different this year for your children. The current restrictions have affected many opportunities for them-one being the chance to sing and perform Christmas songs. Therefore, I would like to share with you an exciting opportunity from Leicestershire Schools Music Services (LSMS)-and all it will cost is a little bit of time. Your child is invited to be involved in recording a virtual singing Christmas Card for the Lord Mayor of Leicester, singing the Stevie Wonder song ‘Someday at Christmas’. This has been specially prepared for Leicestershire by Mark De Lisser (BBC’s Our Dementia Choir, The Voice, Meet the Street at Christmas). Each child will learn, then record themselves singing the song and all the recordings will be made into one amazing virtual choir performance. A few of our pupils took part in a similar virtual performance before the summer holiday. The completed recording will be sent out as the Lord Mayor of Leicester’s Christmas Card. Parents and friends will have the chance to watch and listen to the recording at LSMS’s ‘Leicestershire Makes Music Festival’ on the 3rd December. In order to take part, parents/carers will need to register their child/children via https://ukleicestershire.speedadmin.dk/registration?signupSchoolID=1851#/Course/78/0/513 This will take you to the main registration page - once registered you will have access to all of Mark’s resources and information on how to submit a recording - the project is fully subsidised by the music hub and there is no charge to take part. There is a live zoom rehearsal with Mark on 9th November at 5.00pm so you will need to register your child before then. Please consider this wonderful opportunity with your child/children and start Christmas 2020 off with something positive that you will all remember. Yours sincerely, Matthew Lee .

11/28/2018 Oliver Richman, Grandson of Famed Songwriter, Ron Miller, Releases SOMEDAY AT CHRISTMAS Oliver Richman, Grandson of Famed Songwriter, Ron Miller, Releases SOMEDAY AT CHRISTMAS by BWW News Desk Nov. 27, 2018 Multi-talented 18-year-old singer/actor Oliver Richman Tweet Share (https://oliverrichman.com/) releases a stunning rendition of his late grandfather, Ron Miller's holiday classic, "Someday at Christmas." The song is available on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon and YouTube. The powerful, piano-only ballad was written by Oliver's late iconic grandfather, Ron Miller, who penned standards such as, "For Once in My Life," "Touch Me in the Morning," "A Place in the Sun," "Yester-me, Yester-you, Yesterday," "Heaven Help Us All," "I've Never Been to Me," "If I Could," "Everyone's a Kid at Christmas Time" (co-written by Oliver's maternal grandmother, Aurora Miller), and many more. Originally recorded by Stevie Wonder in 1967 for his one and only same-titled Christmas album, "Someday at Christmas" has also been covered by numerous other artists such as The Jackson 5, LeAnn Rimes, Mary J. Blige, Pearl Jam, Mario, Jackie Evancho, and Justin Bieber. "Someday at Christmas" was also featured as the "Best Christmas song of all time" in the recent film release, "Love, Simon," and was chosen by Apple in recent years for its holiday message to the world which included a 90-second ad starring Andra Day and Stevie Wonder. The new recording was produced by Oliver's mother, singer/songwriter/producer Lisa Dawn Miller (https://lisadawnmiller.com/) and is the first release from her new record label, LDM Music.

Luke 1:39-55 December 23, '18 “PLAY IT AGAIN, MARY” DURING
Luke 1:39-55 December 23, ‘18 “PLAY IT AGAIN, MARY” DURING ADVENT THIS YEAR, WE’RE LOOKING AT “SECULAR CHRISTMAS, SONGS, BOOKS & MOVIES THAT SPEAK TO THE SOUL.” WE’VE LOOKED AT STEVIE WONDER’S “SOMEDAY AT CHRISTMAS,” “RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER” & CHARLES DICKENS’ “A CHRISTMAS CAROL.” THIS MORNING, OUR CHOICE DOESN’T REALLY FALL NEATLY IN LINE WITH THE REST OF THE SERIES FOR AT LEAST A COUPLE OF REASONS. FOR ONE THING, WE’VE ALREADY DONE A SONG & FOR ANOTHER, OUR CHOICE HARDLY QUALIFIES AS SECULAR! WHEN THINKING ABOUT THESE THREE CATEGORIES, THOUGH, - CHRISTMAS BOOKS, MOVIES & SONGS – I THINK MOST OF US WOULD AGREE THAT IT’S THE SONG CATEGORY THAT BECOMES THE MOST DIFFICULT SIMPLY BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY FROM WHICH TO CHOOSE – BOTH SECULAR & SACRED. I’M SURE, IF ASKED, YOU’D BE ABLE TO SAY WHAT YOUR FAVORITE CHRISTMAS SONG IS & YOU’D PROBABLY HAVE A FAVORITE IN BOTH CATEGORIES – SECULAR & SACRED. 1 Page I TOLD YOU THAT, FOR A LONG TIME, THE SECULAR SONG WE USED THREE WEEKS AGO – “SOMEDAY AT CHRISTMAS” – WAS MY FAVORITE NON-CHURCHY CHRISTMAS SONG – THAT IS, UNTIL I HEARD WILL MATTINGLY’S “IT’S CHRISTMAS.” NOW, STEVIE WONDER HAS BEEN RELEGATED TO SECOND PLACE! SO WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE SECULAR CHRISTMAS SONG? MAYBE IT’S AN OLD STANDARD – NAT KING COLE’S “THE CHRISTMAS SONG” – CHESTNUTS ROASTING ON AN OPEN FIRE. OR PERHAPS ELVIS’S “BLUE CHRISTMAS” OR BING CROSBY’S “WHITE CHRISTMAS.” MAYBE IT’S SOMETHING A BIT MORE CONTEMPORARY (AND I’M USING “CONTEMPORARY” VERY LOOSELY) – MARIAH CAREY’S “ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOU” OR JOHN LENNON’S “HAPPY CHRISTMAS – WAR IS OVER.” YOU MAY REMEMBER THE BIZARRE, YET BEAUTIFUL DUET OF BING CROSBY & DAVID BOWIE – “LITTLE DRUMMER BOY/PEACE ON EARTH.” ONE OF THE FASCINATING ASPECTS OF THAT SONG IS THE WAY IT CAME ABOUT.

The critically-acclaimed show stars Sandy Hackett, son of the illustrious comedian Buddy Hackett, and his wife, Lisa Dawn Miller, daughter of legendary songwriter, Ron Miller. The two produce the show under their jointly-led production company, Hackett Miller. "Sandy Hackett's Rat Pack Show," which has stacked up rave reviews over the years, is a theatrical, musical production which recreates what it would have been like to see legendary icons, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. and Joey Bishop live onstage together. “God sends the Rat Pack back to do one last show. Even though they arrive in their prime, they are sent back to modern day so we get to weave current events into the show,” said Lisa who plays “Frank’s One Love,” a character based on Sinatra’s relationship with Ava Gardner. Lisa continues, “Sandy’s father, Buddy Hackett, plays God.

Under Republican administrations during the 1970s and 1980s, working Americans encountered new financial challenges as the lion’s share of economic growth benefitted the wealthiest citizens. As socially and politically conscious popular music faded in popularity, Stevie Wonder continued to express his concerns about the obstacles to the promise of freedom and equality that many Americans continued to face. This paper examines four songs, written and performed by Wonder - “Living for the City,” “You Haven’t Done Nothing,” “Happy Birthday,” and “It’s Wrong,” - to track the trajectory of his commentary from local, community-based issues to national, political topics and, finally, to international causes.
