You may have studied this beloved Schubert art song in voice lessons, and now you can share it with developing choirs in a well-constructed, approachable arrangement. The choice of key fits comfortably within range and the Romantic era harmonies are easy to hear. Whether there are two or four hands at the piano, listeners will be hooked by the rippling water and leaping fish in the playful accompaniment. Concerned about the German words? A rhyming English translation provides a charming option. Listen to Fischer-Dieskau's iconic recording as an introduction to the piece or an extension of learning.

UPC: 038081561486. English. Traditional English Round.
Here's a cheerful traditional English round with a stately gait that is well suited for concert or festival use. As this classical-sounding arrangement progresses, we modulate up with each verse and trade leadership on the canon. The final verse adds a buoyant descant above two previously sung voice parts, leaving only a four-bar ending to rehearse. A handful of optional lyrics allow you to adapt the general text for holiday programs.

Jolly jing-a-ling-a's provide hip transitions and bright bookends in this jazzed-up version of the great Christmas standard. Kirby's arrangement fits the tune like a glove, and will last in your library year after year. Eight bars in the middle may be repeated as many times as desired, and opened up to include vocal and/or instrumental soloists, improvisation, scat singing, gradual stacking of written lines, etc. Just be sure to save a little something for the shout chorus that follows! SoundPax includes four horn parts, but easily adapts for rhythm section alone.
