Tenderly tucked in the middle of this piece is the traditional Welsh carol All Through the Night, giving the listener a taste of the familiar within this stunning original. An elegant piano accompaniment supports this memorable piece which is equally suitable for school or church settings. 10601723 SSA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10 4 Up on the Housetop—arr. Alan Billingsley. You know this Christmas carol, but you've never heard it like this before! Funky is the word, with a rhythmic "Doo ba doo doot" motive in the bass that lays the foundation for a solo or small group lead with choral backups. If this doesn't bring your a cappella choir into the 21st century, nothing will! 10604664 SSA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 10604665 P/A CD . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 27.99 Veni, Veni Emmanuel (I Will Come)— arr.

Especially worthy as an exciting opener, closer, or encore, it features fun, rhythmic interplay with musical repetition of the text, "We're goin' up and up and up!" Suggestions for adding hand claps and percussion are included. 10601735 SSA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10 White Winter Hymnal—arr. Alan Billingsley. Pentatonix covers this song by Fleet Foxes in their signature a cappella style, with only body percussion as accompaniment.

It's accessible and fun to rehearse for winter or general programming. 10518696 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 10518697 P/A CD . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 26.99 4 Winter Looking Back—John Parker & Patti Drennan.
