Show choirs rejoice! This rock-pop anthem is PANIC! AT THE DISCO’s highest charting hit to date. Alan Billingsley’s accessible arrangement is a faithful takedown of the original, equally effective in all voicings. The aspirational message is about rising to the top and a desire to “be that one in a million.” Three-part mixed choirs will enjoy the SAT(B) voicing as the baritone part is optional.

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

What a holiday mood setter! This lovely ballad is heard every season. Now your choir can share the beautiful sentiment expressed by the extraordinary lyrics in a super Schmutte setting. Bring some merriment into the hearts of all your audience members by presenting this one!

Sleigh Ride

Young choirs will love singing this easy, mostly unison arrangement of the Leroy Anderson winter holiday classic. Jeff adapted this arrangement to be sure even the earliest of choirs could enjoy this wonderful music. Sing it often!

The Little Drummer Boy

The classic K.K. Davis song combined with the arranging talents of Jay Althouse has created a fresh new edition of this long-time favorite. Simple, yet elegant could describe the approach that Jay has taken with this new arrangement, and it will surely be the new standard in settings of this great holiday song. A must for every choir!

The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don’t Be Late)

Jeff's sparkling arrangement of the beloved Chipmunks' theme is written especially for young performers. The second part is optional throughout. Delight audiences of all ages with this holiday gem. A diamond!

What a Wonderful World

Few songs ever become hits as this one did for Louis Armstrong. He defined a style of music all his own and yet influenced every style existing to this day. Russ Robinson has done an incredible job of bringing all of these elements to life in this arrangement of the famous song. Done with optional trumpet solo part, the piece is truly becoming of Satchmo. All three voicings are beautiful and will touch the hearts of any audience.

Let It Snow / Winter Wonderland

Two blockbuster Holiday classics come together in this highly creative and very singable arrangement from Alan Billingsley. It's a real showpiece for any holiday concert!
