A Christmas classic updated with a fresh Latin groove! Syncopated rhythms energize the vocal lines, which remain true to the carol's original harmonization. A new Fa la la refrain and bridge build excitement leading to the third verse, and a key change near the end results in a big finish. Add the SoundTrax CD, SoundPax, and complete choreography from the Movin' DVD for even more pizzazz!

UPC: 038081531304. Swahili. Traditional Lesotho Lullaby.
A combination of the traditional Lesotho lullaby with some original words and music, this arrangement pairs a simple African text with English lyrics on the same topic. All parts sing in unison first, laying the groundwork for both two and three part canons which soon develop. Legato verses and a hushed bridge provide nice contrast to the form. Choreography is on Alfred's Movin' DVD.

A solo voice opens this moving anthem of individuality that doubles as a celebration of music. When all the voices join, singers echo warm phrases from part to part and build to an important realization at the bridge: If we all sing together, our songs will become like a symphony. You'll feel a firm tug of the heartstrings as the fully harmonized final verse builds to an impressive cadence and a momentous fermata. An awesome opener or closer in any voicing, and one you won't soon forget.
