Joy shines in every measure of this easy-to-learn anthem for Palm Sunday. The appearance of a traditional Irish folk tune in the body of the song brings contrast and provides a moment of reflection before the great celebration returns. Ideal for a “ring and sing” procession of palms, this could be easily memorized for pageants and other festival presentations.

Let's go! Everybody out in the snow. This rockin' call-and-response crowd-pleaser is all about sleds, snowboards, making snowmen, snow angels, and even having a friendly snowball fight. And with no mention of the holidays, you can sing it all winter long. Optional choreography (printed in the score and available as a downloadable video) will get your singers movin' and groovin'!

We will reach out, sing out, make a change. We will show the world what love can do! These empowering lyrics were inspired by thoughts and feelings from amazing young people at a virtual conference held in 2020. Spread the important message with this stirring anthem of hope by stellar composer and youth mentor, Mark Burrows. Starts with a tiny mezzo-soprano seed and blossoms into a full bloom fortissimo. Along the way, intuitive pop rhythms, satisfying harmonies, an especially memorable bridge, a moment of a cappella, and even handclaps help to secure that full finale effect.

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.

The clever lyrics of this Plain White T's hit are simply irresistible! There's only ONE thing TWO do, THREE words FOUR you: I love you. This faithful arrangement captures the original acoustic rock feel and combines it with two oh-so-easy-to-sing vocal parts, including a memorable countermelody. Check out the band's official viral video that helped this sweet single climb the charts.

Merry minor key singing and dance-like rhythms! This rousing Greg Gilpin original sounds something like Irish folk music or perhaps a sea chantey. It's a festive holiday text complete with trimming the tree, decking the halls, plus plentiful fa la la's and noel's. Feature a mid-range soloist on the softer, slower, introspective moment just before the last spirited refrain. There's holiday cheer for one and all!

A folk-infused ballad celebrating the miracle of Hanukkah. Originally recorded by 90s pop sensation Lisa Loeb, this reflective change-of-pace choral features a rhythmic yet mellow accompaniment and straightforward but expressive vocal parts. Whether you perform with the guitar-inspired piano part, the optional SoundTrax CD, or a folk ensemble of your own, this is truly a special touch for holiday concerts.

Because of changes in our school's schedule and the taking away of the music requirement in 7th and 8th grade, our choir numbers have dropped significantly. Searching for music that has educational value and that the choir will sound good on (we know that's important for the parents and faculty) I came across Light arranged by Andy Beck. This quickly became a favorite of my choir! The kids are excited to rehearse it every day and the sound they are achieving fits the folk-like feel of the piece.

We are using the 2-Part version. Being 7th and 8th graders, of my nine boys, three are unchanged voices (singing alto as written) and my other six are in varying stages of voice change. Those six are bouncing back and forth between alto and soprano parts, singing them down an octave.

Thank you for providing a great piece for the holiday season!
