Listen to the Holy Voices would be an excellent Christmas anthem for a small ensemble or youth choir with even a few young unchanged voices with limited range. Verse 1 for solo voice, verse 2, a simple, wellcrafted canon connected by a colorful and contrasting interlude, and verse 3 for SAB joined by a spirited modulation.

This lesser-known poem is intriguing and mysterious, perfect for singers to discuss and interpret in rehearsal. The piano accompaniment gently steps and tiptoes under the haunting melody and harmonic writing. Drama, tempo, and dynamic contrast create a mixture of moments in storytelling, and are sure to capture your singers' and audience's attention.

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.

This jubilant song of exaltation is designed to make mixed and changing meters intuitive, familiar, easy. Organized in 3 + 2 + 2, the dance-like main theme is quickly mastered. A small number of familiar Latin words and some English text combine into an exuberant concert/contest selection. Listen for the glorious soprano descant, optional trumpet fanfare, and rhythmic timpani part that add majesty, while anchoring the meter.

UPC: 038081561981. English. Ben Cohn.
A Renaissance-era carol brought up to date in a fresh contemporary setting. Veteran Broadway music director and conductor Ben Cohn brings a modern musical theatre sound to this traditional English song. A serenely sparse piano part (during two opening alto solos) gradually grows to a full and glorious accompaniment as more voices join. Listen closely for the juxtaposed stillness/motion and minor/major that symbolize the cold of winter versus the warmth of the season. The entire piece garners edge-of-your-seat wonder, but the greatest chills will come when brief strains from four additional carols trickle in. Simply stunning.

UPC: 038081468020. English.
Elegant. Expressive. Evocative. The poetry elicits icy images of winter; the music sends shivers up the spine. Listen closely for the voice of winter, sung by a soloist or small group, to appear halfway through the piece. Your audience will sit silently in awe before applauding.
