This beautiful, traditional Catalonian song, also titled El Noi de la Mere (The Mother's Child), has been sung as a Christmas carol; however, it is also quite popular with classical guitarists. Folk-like melodies weave through unexpected harmonies to give this piece a joyous, yet sophisticated mood. Strings play pizzicato throughout to honor its guitar roots.

Add some contrast to your winter program with this haunting French folk tune, which also happens to be one of Canada's oldest Christmas songs. Drawing inspiration from the Hurons, an American tribe of the Iroquoian family, the work includes an optional percussion part that adds authenticity to the Gregorian-style melody. A wonderful departure that is an ideal addition to a winter or multicultural program.

Giddy-up little donkey! Hurry, because we're late getting to Bethlehem! The image of the traveler is vividly portrayed in this Spanish children's carol, arranged to depict the clip-clop of the donkey with pizzicato eighth notes and an optional wood block. Students will focus on articulations, dynamics, and the inherent modulations between the verse and the chorus.
