A folk-infused ballad celebrating the miracle of Hanukkah. Originally recorded by 90s pop sensation Lisa Loeb, this reflective change-of-pace choral features a rhythmic yet mellow accompaniment and straightforward but expressive vocal parts. Whether you perform with the guitar-inspired piano part, the optional SoundTrax CD, or a folk ensemble of your own, this is truly a special touch for holiday concerts.Because of changes in our school's schedule and the taking away of the music requirement in 7th and 8th grade, our choir numbers have dropped significantly. Searching for music that has educational value and that the choir will sound good on (we know that's important for the parents and faculty) I came across Light arranged by Andy Beck. This quickly became a favorite of my choir! The kids are excited to rehearse it every day and the sound they are achieving fits the folk-like feel of the piece. We are using the 2-Part version. Being 7th and 8th graders, of my nine boys, three are unchanged voices (singing alto as written) and my other six are in varying stages of voice change. Those six are bouncing back and forth between alto and soprano parts, singing them down an octave. Thank you for providing a great piece for the holiday season!Matt AlbrechtChoir DirectorCopley-Fairlawn Middle School

I don't wanna work. I wanna bang on the drum all day! Here's Todd Rundgren's 1983 well-known chorus in a super-fun arrangement for developing choirs. Sally's creative touch adds a speech chorus, where performers mimic the sounds of various drums in a rhythmic stack. For an inventive twist, double the spoken parts on percussion instruments, buckets, or even coffee cans!

Be Joyful started life as the third movement of a larger piece for Chorus and Orchestra calledFlowers. This movement has such a delightful use of 7/8 that it gives the singers a charge to work on it. It became ome of thosealways humming it themes of the work. I have kept it cast for 4 voices, albeit SSAA now instead of the original SATB and I have adapted the orchestral accompaniment for piano. Probably the most important aspect of performing this piece is to keep the tempo going, and emphasize the thematic entrances as they shift from voice to voice. The poetry is by the Mesoamerican poet Nezahualcoyotl (1402-1472), one of the most prominent poets of the period who seems to have been keenly aware of time and change, cabuitl in Nahuatl, orthat which leaves us. Everything in tlalticpac,on the earth, is transitory. It appears here for a while but then withdraws and vanishes forever.
