164 easy arrangements with chords of carols from around the world, complete with lyrics in the original language as well as English. This special collection also includes historical background information on the observance of Christmas through the years and notes about specific carols to give added understanding. Songs are included from England, Italy, Latin America, Spain, Scandinavia, Poland, Czech Republic, and more.

This piece features Haitian rhythms and challenging harmonies. The treble setting uses a text about harmonizing life's activities - dance being one. A great festival or concert piece for developing choirs, well worth the preparation efforts! While sung in Haitian, it has English translation and an IPS pronunciation guide.

A rich and beautiful setting, this work illustrates that the heavenly light will always overcome the darkness. It is the perfect work for honing intonation and phrasing. For mature high school women's choirs and beyond, this is a fine festival selection, also suitable for any concert program. Duration: ca. 3:30.

For advanced middle school and high school choirs, this is the perfect easy-to-program piece! A beautiful poem by Rabindranath Tagore is set to music that really sings the text. The song has a flowing and attractive piano accompaniment.

For women's groups, this Croatian song, with its lovely poem about the Good Shepherd being our eternal starlight, is set to a distinctive, strong musical theme. The expressive dynamics in the choral line are complemented by the skillfully written piano part. Duration: ca. 4:25.

The text exists merely to give form to the music and is meaningless, says Finnish composer Mntyjrvi, whose El Hambo in 1999 was an instant success with American high school choirs. In Pseudo-Yoik he takes a humorous look at the stereotype of the Lapland folk music. Available: SATB divisi a cappella, SSAA divisi a cappella, TTBB divisi a cappella. Performance Time: 2:15.
