The wind is cold, the branches bare, but hearts are warm and bright. Despite the chill of December, it'' all about hope, peace, and kindling kindness. As you'd expect from a round, a simple melody easily stacks into a complete choral texture. Even better, the conservative-range tune ensures a good fit for all voices. Groups of any age will master the canonic form and enjoy delivering the heartfelt, non-holiday message.

The traditional Ubi Caritas text is uniquely set as an uptempo jazz waltz. Just one sentence in Latin plus a few English lyrics make it clear that this song is all about charity and love. As you've come to expect from this composer, the canon is a true skill-builder---with a modal melody that moves from unison to two and eventually three independent layers (using descant singers for 2-part choirs). Don't miss the jazzy flute obbligato available free online.

A simple yet elegant adaptation of Pachelbel's Canon in D, this arrangement introduces a new melody that beautifully complements the beloved original. Incorporates twinkling text from the nursery rhyme Star light, star bright as well as some new words about making wishes. A delicate balance of unison- and partner-singing makes this an ideal selection for younger groups.

From Trans-Siberian Orchestra's triple platinum album, Christmas Eve and Other Stories, this respectful treatment of Pachelbel's Canon features patterned vocal parts that can be quickly taught and layered. The four-hand piano accompaniment is for two players at one piano, but is not difficult to play. Combine with Bob Phillips' string orchestra arrangement or the classical sounding SoundTrax CD. A highlight for any holiday concert!

At the end of December 1930, Nino Rota travelled to the United States of America where he was accepted at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia upon the recommendation of Arturo Toscanini. One year later, he composed Four Canons: four short compositions the lyrics of which are based on Italian love poems from the 15th and 16th centuries. The madrigal-like style of the unison canons testifies to an innovativeness which goes far beyond a simple study work.
