Christmas isn't Christmas if it's not with you. Nashville music duo Dan + Shay wrote this sentimental ballad with their families in mind. The sweet melodic hook and a heartfelt text translate beautifully for choral singing. Stage an intimate performance with piano alone, invite a guitar player to strum along for some contemporary color, or use the orchestrated SoundTrax for full effect.

It's a dynamic duo of fabulous '50s holiday hits! Choral singers will enjoy the traditional harmonies and laid-back swing of this mini-medley that clocks in at just over three minutes. The doo-wop falsetto pops near the end provide a nifty nod to nostalgia. For even more fun, add some showmanship with Santa hats, jingle bells, and riser choreography. SoundPax includes parts for a standard rhythm section.

Based on the writings of C.S. Lewis, a deep and introspective lyric is given an almost whimsical treatment in this song from the folk rock duo, The Oh Hellos. This eccentric combination is part of the appeal and makes for a very singable selection for ensembles of all sizes and styles.

Keith Kalemba has intelligently arranged this Irish Christmas carol for four-part chorus with an appealing instrumental duo of flute and viola. We begin with an introduction reminiscent of medieval instrumental performance--a string drone under the ornamented melodic tune on the flute. The soprano melody on the first verse is complemented by the tenor line in a clever, highly effective canon at the eighth note. The instruments reappear as a musical conclusion for each stanza and an interlude introduces verse 3 for soprano and alto voices in canon. Verse 4, for a cappella men's voices, musically builds to the final verse for full four-part chorus and instruments. This well designed arrangement will prove to be a worthy challenge for your seasonal choral library. A violin part may be purchased to substitute for viola (e05842).

At the request of violin pedagogue Pavel Vernikov, Igudesman and Joo have composed performance pieces for the Feast of Duos competition held in August 2014. The two commposer/performers insisted that, along with standard repertoire, all entrants also perform a work that included specific elements: theatricality, spoken word, choreography, improvisation, and humor (i.e.: any Igudesman & Joo concert). This set includes two full performance pieces, including dancing while playing, singing while playing, playing the piano with...well...playing the piano posteriorially, and more, As Far As You Can (by Igudesman) and Beyond the Limit? (by Joo). See an excellent YouTube compilation video of various duos performing Beyond the LImit? at competition.
