H God Rest You Merry, Gentlemenarr.
Elizabeth Campbell. What a great way to feature
the gentlemen of your middle school, junior high
or high school chorus! Your guys 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.
Also available for TTBB, this is the ultimate men's
novelty feature! 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!

4 Nobody Knew This Little ChildEdwin T.
Childs. Emily Dickinson's sweet Christmas text is
sensitively partnered with a melody that is perfect
for upper-elementary choirs. The two vocal lines

addition to your Christmas or Epiphany worship.

Noel, Noelarr. Linda Spevacek. The traditional
English carol God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen and
