Take a rollicking ride to Snowflake County-a place where Christmas celebrations have become so extravagant they threaten to over shadow the simplicity of Christmas'true meaning. It seems the only one who understands the secret of Jesus' simple birth is little Suzy Hallmark-but no one is listening. It will take a series of crazy mishaps during the community's annual seasonal program before the noise stops and everyone realizes that Christmas isn't about how brightly lights and decorations shine-it's about Jesus, the light of the world. Christy Semsen has once again combined her tuneful songs and clever dialogue with a strong spiritual theme in this delightful musical that is as contemporary as today's headlines. Daniel Semsen's sparkling accompaniment tracks feature musical styles that range from pop to rock to rap and polka. (There are even country line dancing angels and tap dancing wise men!) A full-color Teacher's Resource Kit and a performance IVD are available, providing all the production help you'll need. In addition to long-sleeve and short-sleeve T-shirts, you can also purchase Fun Paks for your choir to use in performance and keep as a souvenir. Your children and congregation are going to love their visit to Snowflake County, where the secret is out: Christ is the center of Christmas!

Here's a beloved American spiritual, sensitively prepared for school and church singers by Victor C. Johnson. The familiar strophic melody is fully arranged with progressively richer sonorities throughout. Expressive tempo markings stretch the final moment of every phrase and suggest more motion for the hear the trumpet sound verse. A lovely piano accompaniment does not double, but rather decorates the satisfying choral parts. A gentle gem that grows to an impressive height before a quiet conclusion.

This is a sensual pantomime and dance from the region of Guanacaste in Costa Rica in which a couple imitates a Spanish bullfi ght. In this scene, while dancing and playing the role of the bull, the man tries to kiss the woman, who herself is playing the role of the bullfi ghter. Usually there are six couples dressed in bright colors and decorated hats. This dance, also known as 'Parrandera,' dates to the colonial days and similar dances are also found in Nicaragua and Salvador. The 2/4 meter with a continuos triplet rhythm in the bass line is characteristic of this dance. The accompanying instrumental ensemble includes a rich percussion section, as well as guitars and trumpets.

Two notes . . . then two more. A counter-statement . . . then another. Ideas develop and unravel. Percussion punctuates, brass recapitulates, woodwinds decorate. Like a lit fuse, this new work will fascinate, enervate, and captivate---drawing you to the very end . . . and then . . . KABOOM! (2:50).
