A Merry Little Christmas by Jerry Rubino
This is the perfect choral anthology for all mixed choirs who are sure that Santa Claus is coming to town! This collection boasts twelve dazzling arrangements of the top Christmas classics by some of America's best jazz and vocal arrangers. There's the holiday sentiment, Broadway verve, cool wit in all twelve exciting and engaging arrangements. In addition, each arranger has written practical performance notes, which offer advice to both conductor and singer on how to make music of this style come to life. Christmas just got spicier, so get ready to liven up your holiday concert and leave audiences (and singers) asking for more! Orchestral material is available on hire for Winter Wonderland, We need a little Christmas, What are you doing New Year's Eve?, I'll be home for Christmas, and It's the most wonderful time of the year.
This is a treat: an American Christmas extravaganza for truly fearless choirsSome familiar Christmas pieces, and others less well known here, are given the stardust treatment by several eminent arrangers. * Music Teacher, Oct 07 *
There are plenty of slush, juicy, jazzy harmonies to smooch through in the simpler numbers. The volume is aimed at advanced choirs, but many of the numbers do not look especially difficult. * Matthew Greenall, The Singer, Oct 07 *
For the competent choir, this collection will be a must-have. Here are numbers to open or round off your Christmas concert year after year: to draw your audience in, with bright eyes and happy smiles of anticipation; to send them home with feet a-tapping and lighter of heart. * The Organ, November 07 *
