Frosty goes to the jazz club with this Michael Bublé-inspired arrangement of the wintertime classic. A rapid swing tempo, walking string bass line, and stylized syncopations sync up to create an undeniably big-band vintage vibe. The back and forth banter between voice parts is a blast to perform and adds a charming flair. A Puppini Sisters feature is an optional treble trio or duet in the middle, and a huge drum fill kicks off the ultimate jazz-hands chord at the end. Your jazz ensemble will dig playing the SoundPax instrumentation, or perform with the sizzling SoundTrax.

The traditional Ubi Caritas text is uniquely set as an uptempo jazz waltz. Just one sentence in Latin plus a few English lyrics make it clear that this song is all about charity and love. As you've come to expect from this composer, the canon is a true skill-builder---with a modal melody that moves from unison to two and eventually three independent layers (using descant singers for 2-part choirs). Don't miss the jazzy flute obbligato available free online.

Kirby Shaw's samba treatment of this stage and screen standard is truly unique! Despite the brisk tempo, held notes lock on tight vocal jazz chords, and a few staggered entrances provide textural interest. After a signature add-on stacks the voices into three independent layers, the arrangement clears the way for a syncopated scat riff at the end of the coda. SoundPax includes four horns and rhythm.
