This

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

tender final realization
that, Yes, it's music!
Optional clarinet and

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!
