The creative countermelody imitates sounds of musical instruments, which many Erie Canal passengers played to pass the time on their long journey through the locks. Educational and enjoyable!

This change-of-pace charmer recreates the conversation between a pair of birds as they observe children singing. The birds consider what the sounds are, why the sounds are made, and most importantly, Is it music? Kids will embrace telling the animated story with playful tempo shifts, dramatic fermatas, comic interjections, and a tender final realization that, Yes, it's music! Optional clarinet and string bass parts are available for free online.

African-Am erican musicians Brook Benton and Clyde Otis collaborated on this bluesy ballad in 1959. Since then, the enduring piece has been recorded by iconic artists such as Etta James and Ray Charles. Verses present sentimental snapshots of Christmases past, and a crooner melody paints a warm holiday portrait. Santa Claus is on his way, loads of joy on his sleigh, this time of the year, when Christmas is near.

You'll never think of the popular potluck side dish the same way again! This quirky song originally appeared in the 1944 MGM musical Broadway Rhythm. Kirby's authentic arrangement retains the characteristic sound and style of the time period, including bright jazz harmonies and swing rhythms. An add-on section near the end introduces a whole picnic of musical goodies before packing it up for a big finish!

From the writers of the popular Broadway musical Elf, this showbiz showstopper will bring the house down! Flashy lyrics offer several laugh lines such as if your hands are shaking, just turn 'em into jazz hands, plus a humorous shout-out to world-famous choreographer Bob Fosse, suggesting he would make the people have a step-ball-change of heart. Fun to sing, stage, and perform---with razzle dazzle to spare!

Choral educators agree, canon singing works! So, we're always on the lookout to expand our repertoire of rounds. Here's a truly unique minor-key canon on a mature (and musical) text with multi-age appeal. Easy to teach and satisfying to sing, it quickly stacks up to sound impressive. Practice or perform with the optional chamber music instrumentation SoundTrax. I have a song within my heart.

Have you ever heard of a bear with wings? Or a biffalo-buffalo-bison? How about a wallaboo? A. A. Milne, best-known as the author of Winnie the Pooh, penned this playful poem about amusing animals, both real and imagined, at a zany zoo. This clever children's choral offers plenty of musical moments (including independent counterlines and logical 2-part harmonies) in between giggles. Perform with a light, bright tone and crisp consonants on the patter-like words. Two likely results: hilarious rehearsals and a roaring crowd!

Attention all Hamilfans! This act one favorite recounts the correspondence, courtship, and romance between Alexander Hamilton and Eliza Schuyler. The blended pop/R&B style shines brightly in this choral setting that allows entire sections to perform those half-rapped, half-sung phrases that made the musical so famous. A couple of brief solos are easy to assign, with more character than range required. Fun fact: repetitive I do's foreshadow the wedding to come.

UPC: 038081543345. English.

A folk-infused ballad celebrating the miracle of Hanukkah. Originally recorded by 90s pop sensation Lisa Loeb, this reflective change-of-pace choral features a rhythmic yet mellow accompaniment and straightforward but expressive vocal parts. Whether you perform with the guitar-inspired piano part, the optional SoundTrax CD, or a folk ensemble of your own, this is truly a special touch for holiday concerts.

Because of changes in our school's schedule and the taking away of the music requirement in 7th and 8th grade, our choir numbers have dropped significantly. Searching for music that has educational value and that the choir will sound good on (we know that's important for the parents and faculty) I came across Light arranged by Andy Beck. This quickly became a favorite of my choir! The kids are excited to rehearse it every day and the sound they are achieving fits the folk-like feel of the piece.

We are using the 2-Part version. Being 7th and 8th graders, of my nine boys, three are unchanged voices (singing alto as written) and my other six are in varying stages of voice change. Those six are bouncing back and forth between alto and soprano parts, singing them down an octave.

Thank you for providing a great piece for the holiday season!
