ing, Dong! Merrily on Higharr. Ken Berg.

This has a delightful, dance-like quality that comes
through equally well with either piano or harp
accompaniment. In fact, the accompaniment part
itself is quite exceptional, providing extraordinarily
colorful support for the voices throughout!

This beautiful, haunting melody has been sung
by countless numbers of singers for almost half
a century. Available in multiple voicings, with a
variety of instrumental accompaniment options,
it is full and rich-sounding with choirs of any
size. If your choir has not sung this recently,
investigate it again with a different accompaniment
scheme, or combine adults and children for an
unforgettable addition to your December tradition.
It is a true choral standard!

organ accompaniment. Don't miss this!

or Unto Us a Child Is BornHandel/arr. Landes
& Stevens. Taken from the highly successful,
Christmas Messiah For Young Voices, arranged
for unison and two-part voicings, this piece is
stylistically true to the Baroque period and very
accessible to young voices. Although arranged
for young voices, this work does not lose its
character, but will give your youth the opportunity
to sing good standard Christmas literature. The
keyboard part is well written and fully supports
the voices, but add the accompaniment track
for that full orchestral effect.

H Gaudeamus HodieNatalie Sleeth. This 30year commemorative edition of a classic Sleeth
melody will be welcome with teachers and church
choir directors alike. Talk about infectious! Layered
melodies and simple calypso rhythms are enhanced
with Latin percussion instruments and a dancing
piano-four-hands accompaniment. Natalie's unique
gift was to capture the essence of musical style with
simple, clean lines - you'll find the P/A CD a plus,
but even more fun is that the piano part can be
played by two student pianists.

G
Elizabeth Campbell. What a great way to feature
the gentlemen of your middle school, junior high
or high school chorus! Staying comfortably within
the changing-voice range, they get to imitate the
sound of a swinging, walking string bass as they
lay the foundation for the tune, introduced by the
girls. Then the girls have fun singing the bass line
up an octave while the boys carry the melody. Now
also available for SATB, this works great for high
school, but the SATB version may still be sung at
the junior high level because the bass part is in the
baritone range throughout. Complete with finger
snaps and a whispered "Yeah!" at the end, this is
extremely cool, and is guaranteed to be a huge hit
with your students and audiences!

an easy 3-note bell part. This festive anthem
from the great masterworks will be a rewarding
experience for choirs of all ages!
