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!

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.

The last autumn leaves freely descend during the short piano introduction, symbolic of the change from fall to winter. Two-part groups will luxuriate in the words of Rachel Field as presented in this sumptuous setting. As simple as a partner song, with two independent melodies that assemble into a delicate choral duet; as sophisticated as an art song, with haunting motives and passing dissonances. Crystalline chords, embedded into the mostly arpeggiated accompaniment, dazzle the ear and offer subtle support to treble voices of any age. Designed with the clarity and elegance that will make any ensemble sound impressive.

A Christmas classic updated with a fresh Latin groove! Syncopated rhythms energize the vocal lines, which remain true to the carol's original harmonization. A new Fa la la refrain and bridge build excitement leading to the third verse, and a key change near the end results in a big finish. Add the SoundTrax CD, SoundPax, and complete choreography from the Movin' DVD for even more pizzazz!

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.

This playful piece is perfect for the beginning of the school year. Charming lyrics, penned by a 7-year-old student, capture the joy of autumn. A unison verse swirls into simple call-and-response punctuated by a bridge in beginning 2-part harmony. A cheerful key change tosses the leaves higher into the air before tapering to a quiet I love fall leaves ending.

Winnie-the-P ooh author A. A. Milne considers the wind through a child's eyes. We feel its presence and experience its effects, but cannot see it or change its direction. This curious sense of wonder is captured in a delightful musical interpretation for 2-part voices of any age. Elegant in its simplicity.

This rhythmic rendition of the traditional carol is a blast! The funky feel craves choreography (on the Step One! DVD and at alfred.com/video), a likely addition, as accessible writing will make note learning a breeze. A new half-time bridge leads into a key change just before the final groovin' verse.

A great fit for choirs of any age or ability! Harry Belafonte sang this joyful West Indies song on his 1956 album Calypso. Dr. Robinson's arrangement has just the right amount of repetition versus development, and will come together quickly with intuitive voice leading and some stylistic syncopation. One a cappella refrain just after the key change features the conga to keep the groove going, and a final descant adds a rhythmic counterline above. Build up the Jamaican vibe with our light SoundTrax accompaniment or the notated percussion part (available free online). The theme: build your house on solid ground.

Amen , Alleluia! is an accessible Latin piece that includes minimal text, making this a wonderful option for young choirs being introduced to Latin texts. The bright, energetic melody is fun to sing with its melismatic characteristics and carefully placed syncopations. A key change lifts the piece into a compelling finish as it recaps the opening themes.

Carefully placed staccatos and well-chosen chord inversions illuminate the gospel style of this original anthem of hope. It's a perfect pep talk or pick-me-up theme song for whenever your program needs a lift. A solo voice becomes a duet before all the singers join in and grow with intensity. Several ascending key changes raise spirits, ensuring that the uplifting message resonates. Everything will be alright, everything will be okay, 'cause I can see a new horizon on a brand new day. If you don't perform with the kickin' SoundTrax accompaniment, be sure to add a groovin' drummer and riffing organ of your own. We dare you (and your audience) not to clap along!

Be Joyful started life as the third movement of a larger piece for Chorus and Orchestra calledFlowers. This movement has such a delightful use of 7/8 that it gives the singers a charge to work on it. It became ome of thosealways humming it themes of the work. I have kept it cast for 4 voices, albeit SSAA now instead of the original SATB and I have adapted the orchestral accompaniment for piano. Probably the most important aspect of performing this piece is to keep the tempo going, and emphasize the thematic entrances as they shift from voice to voice. The poetry is by the Mesoamerican poet Nezahualcoyotl (1402-1472), one of the most prominent poets of the period who seems to have been keenly aware of time and change, cabuitl in Nahuatl, orthat which leaves us. Everything in tlalticpac,on the earth, is transitory. It appears here for a while but then withdraws and vanishes forever.

Jantz Black has set the familiar hymn Abide with Me in this easily learned and flexible two-part anthem, perfect for evening worship or funeral and memorial services. The tune is lightly embellished, and the harmony adds interest and color to create a setting that is simple yet elegant. The beautiful piano accompaniment supports and enhances the singers.
