Wish your audience a iMerry Christmas and a Happy New Year” in just a half a minute. This madrigal-style a cappella novelty is equally easy to learn and enjoyable to sing. Plus, itis a great choice for any seasonal performance: Christmas concerts, community events, madrigal feasts, door-to-door caroling, singing telegrams---you name it! Fun, flexible, and festive in all voicings.

Arranger: Donald Moore

A mixolydian melody becomes the foundation for this stately three-part canon with madrigal style counterpoint. Festive flute and hand drum parts add a Renaissance music touch to a piece with only 12 bars of singing to teach. Ideal for processionals, madrigal feasts, or as a concert opener.

Composer: Sally K. Albrecht

This merry madrigal will be a nice addition to your 3-part choir's a cappella seasonal repertoire. Characteristic counterpoint makes this original Donald Moore piece a familiar form but, unlike many Renaissance chorals, the vocal ranges, subject matter, and number of voice parts have been specifically designed for developing choirs. A festive feature for holiday concerts and Madrigal feasts, with just enough optional bass notes in the 3-part mixed/SAB for your developing men's section.

Time and time again Jay has proven his incredible talent in creating singable a cappella spirituals that are full of life and deep musical feeling. This one is no exception! Now available for SSAA voices, this Christmas selection uses effective dynamic contrasts, a contrasting slower middle section, and a superb text for an absolutely thrilling choral feature! Very highly recommended!

Composer: Jay Althouse

A well-constructed original a cappella Christmas spiritual built upon a memorable chorus of interlocking rhythms. The gripping minor key, dramatic dynamic contrasts, and a compelling modulation will make for an impressive holiday performance.

Arranger: Greg Gilpin

Another memorable Christmas spiritual from Jay Althouse. Strong dynamic contrasts (from "Whisper, whisper, tiny baby in a manger lay" to "Shout it out from the hills and valleys; baby born today") make this a winner for your choir. A lush middle section contrasts with the rhythmic excitement of the opening theme. Brief, easy solos for both a male and female singer. A cappella.
