Did you know Whistle Down the Wind is a Christmas musical? Well, kind of, anyway, in the same way RENT is a Christmas musical. That's why we have two musical Christmas songs today from the first (but not last) Andrew Lloyd Webber soundtrack to disappoint me. (It was a 2-CD set! Those were expensive, especially as that was during the days of illegal pricefixing by the RIAA.)

First, even if you don't know WDtW you might know "When Children Rule the World" from the 1998 Winter Olympics:

For a more generically Christmas version, look for Donny Osmond's version off the "Songs From Whistle Down the Wind" album (which in my opinion is the far superior way to enjoy the musical).

Then, we have "Annie Christmas," which the Man (who may or may not be Jesus; the kids think yes and the adults think definitely not) tells as a 'Christmas story' to the demanding children. It is... not Christmas-y at all. XD

So today was my first day teaching an after school elective theater class (10+ 2nd 3rd 4th grade girls) and holy shit y'all I have even more respect for teachers now than ever before because that was BRUTAL lmao it was like they could smell my fear and knew they could trample all over me. Maybe my viewpoint is skewed, seeing as I was a really meek, easygoing kid at that age, but I can't fathom just...blatantly ignoring the teacher when they tell you not to do something. I get theater is a bit more loosey goosey but damn I can't imagine treating any of my past theater teachers (or any adult for that matter) with such disregard. Hoping that they were just crazy because it was their first day back at school after summer break and they'll mellow out a tiny bit by next week.

There were two super sweet and responsible 4th graders that I'm probably going to have to lean on to get through to some of their classmates. Like appoint them "team leaders" or whatever.

Either way, no more Ms. Pushover next Wednesday--Miss Helen is gonna lay down the fucking LAW lol I'm going to print out a set of class rules and expectations and have the kids repeat them back to me, and I may invest in a fucking whistle to cut through how loud they can get. If any of y'all have a background in teaching or otherwise dealing with large groups of children, feel free to drop any tips or suggestions you might have to get a handle on a rowdy crowd of munchkins and gremlins without yelling or being overly strict.

I started this fall expecting beautiful fall landscapes in the mountains and over the garden wall vibes

Turns out that it's kinda difficult when you're constantly getting wind gusting over 100 km/hr for days on end. I'm fighting to stay upright on my romantic and melancholic autumn strolls

Lottie Mayor, a British stage and screen actress, singer, television presenter and voiceover artist, accompanied by Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber on the piano, performs “Whistle Down the Wind” at Webber’s 50th birthday celebration held at the Royal Albert Hall London (1998).

“Whistle Down the Wind” is a powerful and evocative song from the musical of the same name. It has captivated audiences around the world with its emotive lyrics and haunting melody. The song explores themes of hope, faith, and the enduring power of love. Through poignant lyrics and beautiful harmonies, Whistle Down the Wind transcends the boundaries of language and touches the hearts of listeners.  The core meaning of the song revolves around the idea of finding solace and redemption in the face of adversity. It speaks to the belief that even in our darkest moments, there is always a glimmer of hope. “Whistle Down the Wind” reminds us that love and faith can provide us with the strength to overcome challenges and find peace in the midst of chaos.

The musical premièred in 1996 at the National Theatre in Washington, D.C., and a concept album was released in 1998 and has been revived several times since then and toured extensively.  A reworked, and more successful, production opened in the West End at the Aldwych Theatre on 1 July 1998, starring Marcus Lovett as The Man and Lottie Mayor as Swallow. It ran for 1,044 performances and closed in January 2001.

“Whistle down the wind Let your voices carry Drown out all the rain Light a patch of darkness Treacherous and scary

Howl at the stars Whisper when you're sleeping I'll be there to hold you I'll be there to stop The chills and all the weeping Make it clear and strong So the whole night long Every signal that you send Until the very end I will not abandon you My precious friend

So try and stem the tide Then you'll raise a banner Send a flare up in the sky Try to burn a torch And try to build a bonfire Every signal that you send Until the very end, I'm there So whistle down the wind For I have always been right there

Howl at the stars Whisper when you're sleeping I'll be there to hold you I'll be there to stop The chills and all the weeping Make it clear and strong So the whole night long Every signal that you send Until the very end I will not abandon you My precious friend

So whistle down the wind Let your voices carry Drown out all the rain Light a patch of darkness Treacherous and scary Every signal that you send Until the very end, I'm there

So whistle down the wind For I have always been right there.”
