'Belgium put the Kibosh on the Kaiser' is followed by some proper trench songs - various lyrics were improvised by the soldiers!! - 'Three German Officers crossed the Rhine' and 'They were only playing Leap-Frog'. 'The Bells of Hell go Ting-a-ling-a-ling' leads to strains of 'Stille Nacht' recalling the Christmas truce. 'When this Lousy War is Over' and 'There's no place like Home' are balanced by 'Land of Hope and Glory' before the Americans arrive with 'The Caissons go Rolling Along' and 'Over There'. 'It's a Long Way to Tipperary' brings us towards a rousing finish save for an optional 'Last Post-lude' to end reflectively.

Uses: Communion Scripture: Luke 22:14-20: I Corinthians 11:23-34 Here is something a little different for communion processions. Written in a slow gospel style this soulful song invites the seeker to the table to find joy hope and love. David Angerman and Joseph M. Martin combine their creative efforts to give us a memorable addition to Lord's Supper literature. Truly unique!

from Coco-Translating to ?A Little Crazy ? the lyrics to this song are just that. Full of whimsey and surprises. The verse text is in English while the repeated lines are in Spanish. A fun hand-clapping section lends itself to movement if desired and the repeated sections make this easy to learn.

Set for treble voices and piano accompaniment with English and German texts this piece is from Schumann's Opus 29 Drei Gedichte based on the poetry of Emanuel Geibel. Delightful to hear and more so to sing. Program with My Love Has Gone. Available: SA.

At the request of a publisher Beethoven provided simple folk song arrangements which could be performed by amateur musicians. Between the years of 1809 and 1820 he set about 150 Welsh English Irish Scottish and even some German folk songs. All areaccompanied by violin cello and piano. The SAB voicing and repeated verses make this not only a great classic to perform but easily learned. Excellent for high school and some advanced middle school choirs. Easy.
