4e Dance with Me to My Heart—Jim Papoulis. This
energetic and lively piece is about discovering the

setting ourselves free, exploring and learning to let
go of preconceived notions of how we "should"

text in Swahili and English with driving rhythms
in the vocal parts and the piano, djembe, and
stick accompaniment makes this both a fun and
memorable song for singers and audience alike!

of scary surprises. The text is cleverly conceived
and will give you plenty of teaching opportunities
for diction, independent part singing, style, and
the literary and historical significance of Edgar
Allan Poe. Your students will love this!

Ht Ding-A Ding-A Ding—Greg Gilpin. This very
e cool original is a masterpiece of vocal layering, a
"sound experience" for a cappella voices as bells.
All voices sing together in the middle section
before returning to vocalized bell effects. "Merrily
on high, hear the bells ring. Merrily, the heavens
sing. Merrily on high, hear the bells ring. O'er the
earth, they ding dong ding." Now also available in
an accessible two-part treble or TB voicing with
optional accompaniment, this is appropriate for
the holidays or any festive occasion throughout
the year! Highly recommended!
