This outstanding best-seller and important choral work is now available for SSAB and TTBB voices. A cappella vocals build with a “come on up” followed by rhythmic vocals under the hypnotic melody penned by Walter Robinson. Layered under that is the sound of percussion imitating a train and vocal nuances resembling the sound of chains and a train whistle. Incredibly powerful and moving!

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.

UPC: 038081512945. English. Traditional Carol.

You know this Christmas carol, but you've never heard it like this before! Alan Billingsley's contemporary interpretation brings the traditional tune up to date. The SATB voicing sounds great a cappella, while a funky accompaniment works well to support the SAB and SSA. Bass and drums on the optional SoundTrax CD pump up the R&B groove, or add your own vocal percussion.
