Choral Octavo SoundPax, Score and Set of Parts
African-American musicians Brook Benton and Clyde Otis collaborated on this bluesy ballad in 1959. Since then, the enduring piece has been recorded by iconic artists such as Etta James and Ray Charles. Verses present sentimental snapshots of Christmases past, and a crooner melody paints a warm holiday portrait. “Santa Claus is on his way, loads of joy on his sleigh, this time of the year, when Christmas is near.”
SATB divisi
A festive choral fanfare from the animated blockbuster The Polar Express! This brief but epic treatment comes straight from the incredible a cappella vocal group, Voctave. Arranger Jamey Ray pulls out all of the stops with divisi in every section, double descants, and an optional soaring soprano obbligato—totaling five octaves of choral grandeur when all the cued notes are sung. A holiday jaw-dropper.

Nominated for three GRAMMY® Awards (Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Solo Performance), Dua Lipa's hot hit is easily called “nu-disco”—a pop genre inspired by '70s disco and '80s electronic dance music. This track boasts a percolating funk bassline with strong synth chords, dynamic string bursts, and that signature cowbell in the chorus. As an option, feature a confident alto soloist at the beginning and toward the end of this perky post-breakup song that celebrates newly found independence.
