Familia r words, new melody. Ruth's cheerful a cappella setting of the yuletide text accentuates the peace on earth lyric, adding a harmonically rich bridge on just those words. Crisp choral ding dong entrances, a melodic twist in the middle, and a tuneful final descant decorate the otherwise strophic verses. Add to the festivity (and anchor the minor-key tonality) with optional tubular bells or chimes.

A little bit vaudeville, a little bit country, this zany novelty number is a hoot! You know Dasher and Dancer, and Prancer and Vixen? Well, this isn't about those guys, it's actually about their wacky cousins. You'll be laughing well into January!

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!

UPC: 038081561639. English. Words adapted from As With Gladness Men of Old by William C. Dix; music; additional words; by Ruth Morris Gray.

This sweet setting is an adaptation of the As with Gladness Men of Old text about those who followed the star. Concise vocal ranges, sensible phrasing, and a naturally flowing poetic meter make for manageable preparation during the busiest time of year. Ruth's ability to construct a lyrical melody, memorable piano motives, and logical voice parts shines clearly through. Several satisfying suspensions and a momentary tonal shift provide a warm harmonic backdrop. Be sure to observe the expressive dynamic and tempo markings to shape the most musical performance. A lovely selection for both concert and worship.

Something special for Hanukkah, a wish for peace throughout the year is the centerpiece. The melody is sung in unison before appearing in echo format, making this gentle choral ballad ideal for those who are new to singing in parts. An optional small group near the end adds a third layer, if desired.

This enduring Hanukkah song by folk trio Peter, Paul, and Mary urges us to uphold the legacies of those who fought for freedom by promoting social justice. Jack's contemporary arrangement is tastefully updated in three accessible voicings. Perform with piano alone, the folk-inspired SoundTrax, or invite a guitarist to strum along. Light one candle to bind us together with peace as the song in our hearts.

This reverent work by Charles Strouse recalls the memories of loved ones who gave the supreme sacrifice for the cause of liberty. A fitting tribute for Memorial Day and other patriotic occasions in three well-conceived voicings. On this day . . . think of those who walked beside us, now no longer there . . . let the mystic stream of memory fill our hearts with pride.
