cappella arrangement gives the holiday classic a
hint of jazzy harmonic freshness yet retains a cozy
flavor reminiscent of Christmases gone by.

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.

harmonies!
