more spirited arrangement of this much-loved
carol! This setting for SATB voices and piano

God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen—
arr. Elizabeth Campbell. A great way to
feature your tenors and basses, this piece
includes the imitation of the sound of a
swinging, walking string bass as they lay the
foundation for the tune. Your sopranos and
altos will have fun singing the bass line up
an octave while the tenors and basses then
get to carry the melody. 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 students and audiences!

Johnson. This perennial favorite, also

Greensleeves—arr. Greg Gilpin.
Reimagining a timeless English folk song,
this contemporary arrangement brings a
fresh approach. The 4/4 meter elongates
the melodic line, and the harmony
incorporates rhythmic vocables that may
be performed a cappella or with the optional
piano accompaniment. The traditional
secular lyrics are used, though the well-
known sacred Christmas text What Child Is
This? can be effectively substituted.
