A must-have novelty number for choirs with a sense of humor! Offenbach's most famous overture has been skillfully arranged with familiar melodic themes that pass between sections of the choir, while remaining singers provide a rhythmic choral accompaniment. Achievable a cappella that your choir "can-can" master.

Arranger: Julie Eschliman | Composer: Jacques Offenbach

The brief fugue-like B-section is book ended by a spectacular "wall of sound" opening and closing chorale in this impressive a cappella piece for Christmas. Divisi is frequent, but not difficult to achieve.

Arranger: Donald Moore | Composer: Pavel Chesnokov

Renaissance drums and tambourine beat a festive cadence, joined first by a merry flute, second by the open fifth "Noel" chants of the men, and finally by a 3-part women's jovial call. Process down the aisles at your winter concert or Yuletide feast with the performers reaching their positions by the time the opposing themes fit together or at the full Picardy conclusion. Piano supports the divisi voice parts, adding embellishments between phrases, but never distracting from the early music quality.

Arranger: Jean Perry
