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!

New 2-part voicing! Here's an inspired setting that faithfully retains the Hawaiian character of Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's cover. In this well-crafted treble version, both sections of the choir take a turn singing the classic melody, while the opposite part interjects with independent aloha's. This easy-to-do treatment performs well with the light piano part, an optional ukulele/guitar, or the professional SoundTrax accompaniment. It's a special arrangement that honors the depth of the original, the spirit of Brother Iz, and the beauty of the earth.

You may have studied this beloved Schubert art song in voice lessons, and now you can share it with developing choirs in a well-constructed, approachable arrangement. The choice of key fits comfortably within range and the Romantic era harmonies are easy to hear. Whether there are two or four hands at the piano, listeners will be hooked by the rippling water and leaping fish in the playful accompaniment. Concerned about the German words? A rhyming English translation provides a charming option. Listen to Fischer-Dieskau's iconic recording as an introduction to the piece or an extension of learning.

This sweet setting of the famous Scottish folk song generously passes the melody from voice to voice, while gently stretching the traditional rhythms of the piece. Piano players will enjoy the flowing arpeggios of the supportive accompaniment, and singers will savor the long legato lines.

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.

The most unique multicultural piece you will sing this year. A primarily English text tells the spectacular story of an ancient Japanese fishing tradition on the Uji River. And a traditional Asian folk melody floats above a gentle koto-like piano or SoundTrax accompaniment. Magical for treble voices, and highly effective when TB singers sound like fishermen.
