After weeks of waiting, it's finally time to open those holiday gifts. As the kids gleefully tear into their presents, wrapping paper, ribbons, tags, and bags go flying---it's a gift wrap riot! This rockin' hand jive is a total blast. The vocal parts pretty much teach themselves, so there's plenty of time to add the familiar hand motions or learn Andy's full choreography (printed in the score and available as a free ChoreoTrax video online). If holiday novelty numbers have become a tradition at your school, you won't want to miss this one!

In 2012, Jimmy Fallon started a recurring segment on “The Tonight Show†in which The Roots use classroom instruments to play pop songs with celebrity guests. These skilled musicians pull off engaging performances using instruments many people don't take seriously beyond the elementary music room. Nathan Howe has continued his musical genius in a cappella writing with this pop tune sung a cappella with classroom percussion. It's amazing and fun and suitable for all ages with the variety of voicings available. The choral also includes notes on different ways to teach, learn, and perform the piece and all the percussion parts are included as a free download.

That marvelous moment when two previously sung melodies first fit together is an important milestone for developing groups. And there's nothing like a well-crafted partner song arrangement to take you there. Over the years, George Strid and Mary Donnelly have set the standard for quality partner songs, and this treatment of the well-known Mexican folk tune is no exception. Sing both lines in English or teach Spanish words using the included pronunciation guide. Seriously, if you want to take steps toward harmony, follow the magic formula: A, then B, then together. ¡Ay, ay, ay, ay!

An emblem that transcends cultures, religions, and time periods, the flickering candle offers a message of joy, hope, and peace that can reach every human heart. Start with the spark of a single voice on the opening solo, and then light your choir's inner flame when the entire group joins. Simple, with a folk-like quality; artful, as the composer explores dark versus light, major versus minor.
