Ska/pop band Madness recorded this song in 1981 and it has become a firm favourite, especially at weddings and anniversary parties. This arrangement avoids the obvious piano chords in the vocal parts, focusing more on melodic polyphony. It is not too difficult to put together and has exciting parts for all singers.

I've also done optional parts for the sax/guitar solo in the middle; these are provided in C (treble and bass clefs), B flat and E flat to cater for almost any solo instrument you have available to play it (possibly a choir member?). This solo should be loud and raucous! The piece still works perfectly well without, however. It is great to perform and to listen to for the audience. Enjoy!

Christmas Island for SSA Voices with Piano and optional 6 other instruments. SSA Voices (Trio or Chorus) with Piano and Slide Guitar, Acoustic Guitar/Ukelele, Bass, Drums, Key 2 (Celesta), Key 3 (Strings). This Lyle Moraine song was first recorded by the Andrews Sisters with Guy Lombardo in 1946 and later by many others, including Jimmy Buffet, Leon Redbone, Bob Dylan and even Ariel from ?The Little Mermaid?. This arrangement has a bit of the ?Island? flair with a Hawaiian inspired accompaniment that is really enhanced by the use of Steel Slide Guitar and Ukulele. "2018 Holiday Contest Entry
