| L'estrange A. - Christmas Special - Choral Basics - Mixed Voices Sa (par 10 Minimum)A collection of four joyful songs exploring the 'lighter' side of the Christmas. 'Have yourself a merry little Christmas' was made famous by the 1944 film Meet me in St. Louis, where it was sung by Judy Garland and this is complemented with 'O Christmas tree', one of the most popular German traditional carols, and the original 'Another Christmas..' composed by series editor Alex L'Estrange and fellow composer Peter Gritton. A Christmas collection would not be complete without 'Jingle bells', given a boisterous treatment here, although actually the song isn't about Christmas at all - it's about the cutter drag races in Boston, USA, where young men would race sleighs to impress the girls! Choral Basics is a recently created series that offers straightforward and rewarding repertoire for the beginner choir. Perfect for singers of all ages, the series offers simple 3-part choral arrangements for soprano, alto and a combined male voice part. Consultant editor Alex L'Estrange has brought together an array of repertoire including world music, spirituals, pop classics, show hits and original pieces. Carefully considered for the level, the arrangements pay particular attention to breathing, vocal ranges and technique whilst straightforward piano accompaniments support the vocal lines. The series offers great value for money, as each volume comprises a set of contrasting songs for easy programming.
