Longfellow's text is set with additional words and music by Ruth Morris Gray and the piano accompaniment is based on Pachelbel's Canon in D. Together, it creates a sweet choral singing ding dong gently above the verses with use of an optional descant as well. A mature and meaningful selection for developing choirs.

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.

Find hope, shine hope, sing hope. This simple melody stacks beautifully into a 3-part canon by the end of the song, building the skills of developing part-singers. A quote from Emily Dickinson's treasured poem, Hope Is the Thing with Feathers, provides contrast in the middle of this tender and tuneful song. An excellent choice for any time of year.

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.

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.

A highlight for any holiday concert!
