The Christmas Song—
arr. Russell Robinson. Perhaps your ensemble
has sung The Christmas Song many times, many
ways - but this is a truly special treatment. Simple
yet sophisticated, this heartwarming three-part
a cappella arrangement gives the holiday classic a
hint of jazzy harmonic freshness yet retains a cozy
flavor reminiscent of Christmases gone by.

standard from the animated special A Charlie
Brown Christmas is first-rate material for concert
choirs and vocal jazz ensembles! Use the piano
accompaniment or the instrumentation for jazz
combo and strings - either way it will bring those
warm, nostalgic holiday feelings that are so special.

Frosty the Snowman—Steve Nelson &
Jack Rollins/arr. Alan Billingsley.
Frosty goes to the jazz club in this wintertime
classic! A rapid swing tempo, walking string bass
line, and stylized syncopations sync up to create
an undeniably big-band vintage vibe. Back and
forth banter and even a Puppini Sisters treble
feature in the middle - this is just a holiday treat!
You'll want to use the fabulous accompaniment
track or the parts for your live jazz band.

A Frosty Winter Holiday—Mary Donnelly
& George L.O. Strid. Here's an original winter
two-part choral that's cuter than any holiday card
and filled with festive sparkle. And did we mention
kazoos? The use of optional kazoos can replace
the section of notated choral scat for even more
fun. Swingin' and engaging, it's an irresistible
programming choice!

Good King Wenceslas—
arr. Russell Robinson. James Mason Neal's
19th-century text tells the 10th-century tale of a
King from Bohemia traveling through the snow
on St. Stephen's Day. Paired with its traditional
13th-century melody, it then takes on a modern
twist as it is arranged in a jazzy, swing-style 5/4
meter, similar to Take Five. The verse uses simple
unison or two-part lines, and the jazzy four-part
harmonies on the choruses are easy to learn.

A Hand for Mrs. Claus—
Kristen Anderson-Lopez & Robert Lopez/
arr. Mac Huff. Written for Idina Menzel and Ariana
Grande by the writing team that brought you
"Frozen" and many other hits, this tune is scored
for big band and swings in the best definition of the
style. Pay a swinging tribute to the woman behind
the man - Mrs. Claus!

holidays with this chart that's not only a festive
holiday feature but also a solid introduction to
beginning scat singing. Designed with developing
groups in mind, this can be performed with
the swingin' accompaniment track or a live

Jacobson's suggested choreography is included in
the octavo!

The Holiday Season—Kay Thompson/
arr. Mark Hayes. This swingin' song of the
season, most closely associated with Andy
Williams' iconic 1963 Christmas album, remains
a classic holiday favorite. This arrangement gives
it the full Hollywood treatment, including a flashy
piano part and a fantastic part for your jazz band.

I'll Be Home for Christmas—
arr. Mark Hayes. Smooth and velvety all the
way, this is without a doubt the most beautiful
choral arrangement available of the pop holiday
standard. There is no lovelier or more touching
Christmas ballad in the American songbook than
this one, originally made famous by Bing Crosby.
Mark Hayes' setting is one you'll want to perform
this year and for many years to come!

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the
Year—Eddie Pola & George Wyle/
arr. Kirby Shaw. Kick off the season with this
festive a cappella arrangement of a true holiday
favorite! Both sopranos and basses take the jazz
waltz melody for a spin while the other voices
provide a scat-syllable accompaniment. This
versatile two-minute setting is fitting for the stage
or for door-to-door caroling.

arr. McKay Crockett. This is Jingle Bells like
you've never heard it before! From Brigham
Young University's a cappella group BYU Vocal
Point, this stellar arrangement is retro chic. With
elements of vocal jazz, contemporary a cappella,
and big band, this swingin' setting has a walking
bass line, plenty of vocables, and a great jazzy
solo. With the improvised vocal percussion,

Christmas concert!

Julian R. Fleisher/arr. Lisa DeSpain. Can you
think of a rhyme for the word "Christmas"? It's
nearly impossible! This novelty piece for choir
grins, chuckles, and tries one-liners throughout the
jazzy tune, and the lyrics finally conclude that we
"don't need a rhyme for Christmas, only you!" A
perfect choice to liven up your Christmas program!

bright bookends in this jazzed-up version of the
great Christmas standard. Eight bars in the middle
may be repeated as many times as desired for
vocal solos, instrumental solos, improvisation, scat
singing, gradual stacking of written lines, etc. Just

chorus! Bring that jazz, Santa!
