New releases in Christmas music

Greg Gilpin : A Wreath of Holiday Chorals

Review: This musically diverse collection contains seven reproducible selections for Christmas, Hanukkah and December holidays, carefully arranged to be sung as unison or optionally as 2-part. A Wreath of Holiday Chorals works as a bridge to teaching harmony, giving less experienced choirs and younger singers quality literature with many performance options. As you rehearse, you will discover the many ways to incorporate the optional Part Two; perhaps by adding a simple harmony or selecting a section where both parts are sung instead of just unison. In addition to the physical book, it is also completely digital, granting you permission to print the entire book or singer-only PDF parts. Included are full performance and accompaniment MP3s as well as part-dominant recordings to help with individual learning, all downloadable for immediate use. Whether you incorporate one of or all the selections, you will love the versatility, quality, and budget-stretching punch for your music program.
