UPC: 038081581316. English. Traditional Welcome Song.
This lively welcome song traditionally accompanies the West African fanga dance. Built on the familiar tune (plus some new material and a few English words), this general music class favorite is fully developed as a choral arrangement. Scattered handclaps, syncopated rhythms, and bright harmonies make this well-crafted setting a joy to perform! A modulating breakdown section in the middle offers the opportunity to incorporate the dance. Downloadable percussion parts are available online.

UPC: 038081544076. English. Traditional Spiritual.
Greg's rhythmic reimagining is just plain fun! An original countermelody is introduced, then layered with some complementary counterpoint, creating a great deal of excitement before the much-anticipated arrival of the familiar traditional spiritual. It's a truly playful and innovative arrangement that two- and three-part groups will adore. Hey, Zeke!

UPC: 038081531403. English. Traditional English Round.
A festive setting of the English round that will come together quickly at that busy time of year! A rousing antiphonal treatment (a fanfare) leads into the traditional tune, followed by a newly composed bridge. Later, the unison melody becomes a 2-part, and eventually a 3-part round. A wonderful opener for holiday performances!
SKU: AP.47627
UPC: 038081543208. English. Traditional Carol.
Alternating 3/4 and 6/8 time signatures are a fresh and fabulous twist for this holiday classic. You (and your audience) will be both surprised and delighted! Several brief character solos offer lots of low-pressure opportunities to stand out, and the additive form of the traditional carol makes the piece come together quickly.
