According to world-renowned composer and arranger Cedric Dent, his version of “Mary Had a Little Lamb” was originally conceived as a piece for a vocal quartet where vocal jazz meets the traditional choral style (think of the Manhattan Transfer singing an anthem in the traditional choral style). It has since been performed primarily by traditional choral ensembles. The title of the piece, from a familiar nursery rhyme song, ties in with the message of the Advent season: a celebration of the birth of the Messiah - the Lamb of God! Cedric Dent's choral writing is truly impressive, and your choirs will enjoy learning and performing this incredible work.

Klezmer music offers thrilling rhythms and festive yet mysterious melodic themes. No wonder this style is so infectious! This tune is no exception. In the key of C, it challenges students with its Gemini notes that change identities, and its Eastern European modal scale that sports a gap of a minor third. The melody is unforgettable and guaranteed to create an enjoyable playing experience for your students. Includes three percussion parts that can be played by string students or percussionists: tenor drum, bass drum, and tambourine.

Gerakina (yeh-rah-kee-nah) is one of the most popular folk songs in Greece and the inspiration for an annual festival of the same name. Developing singers will enjoy the dance-like lilt and the fun drun-a-drun lyric, representing the sound of the title character's jingling bracelets.

Based on the Largo section of the New World Symphony, this medium tempo swinger by the master swinger himself is classic Nestico. Playable by most high school bands, and yet the fresh approach to this familiar tune is so nice that any band at any level will enjoy performing it.
