25 Days of Composing Christmas
December 19, 2015
MODG student and musician Mary Rose Gallipeau completes her unique project, the “Composing Christmas” YouTube series, with this final video published Christmas Eve. For each of the 25 days of Christmas, beginning December 1, Mary Rose and other MODG musicians -all living in different locations around the United States and across an ocean- collaborated on Christmas songs in harp, piano, and singing.
“Through my journey in Mother of Divine Grace, I’ve gotten to know so many fantastically amazing and incredibly talented people. My motivation behind the project began merely just to share Christmas spirit. Being a musician myself, I knew I wanted to do that through music.” – Mary Rose.
Mary Rose noted that by the end of the series, she will have collaborated with more than 10 MODG musicians.
In this grand finale published on Christmas Eve, students John Ball and Nicholas Cherrey present their personal rendition of “Carol of the Bells,” sung by Emma Halpin and Mary Rose. Matthew Cherrey is the Video Producer.

That was very good! I especially liked how you melded the three little videos. I do not do this sort of thing, so I don’t know how hard it is to do that. The music was very beautiful and very well sung. Great job!
