Elizabeth Campbell. What a great way to feature
the gentlemen of your middle school, junior high

up an octave while the boys carry the melody.

novelty feature! Complete with finger snaps and
a whispered "Yeah!" at the end, it is extremely
cool, and is guaranteed to be a huge hit with your

setting will be a hit with singers and audiences alike.

O, What Is Figgy Pudding?—arr. Teresa
Jennings. Ever stop to think how very odd some
traditional carol lyrics are, such as figgy pudding
and partridges in pear trees? That's the essence
of this lighthearted, tongue-in-cheek carol in a
madrigal style. While it can be sung as a unison
piece, the real fun comes from singing all three
parts. Singing seriously in a choral way will further
emphasize the silliness of it all. Your singers and
audience will love it.

arr. Craig Courtney. A delightful
way to end a Christmas concert,
this 11-minute journey starts with
a chant and each successive day
finds a different hilarious parody:
Handel; Vivaldi; Mozart; Strauss;
Tchaikovsky; Wagner and others all
make incognito appearances, ending
with the twelfth day set to a pseudo-
Sousa Stars and Stripes Forever.
