Jolly jing-a-ling-a's provide hip transitions and bright bookends in this jazzed-up version of the great Christmas standard. Kirby's arrangement fits the tune like a glove, and will last in your library year after year. Eight bars in the middle may be repeated as many times as desired, and opened up to include vocal and/or instrumental soloists, improvisation, scat singing, gradual stacking of written lines, etc. Just be sure to save a little something for the shout chorus that follows! SoundPax includes four horn parts, but easily adapts for rhythm section alone.

Christmas isn't Christmas if it's not with you. Nashville music duo Dan + Shay wrote this sentimental ballad with their families in mind. The sweet melodic hook and a heartfelt text translate beautifully for choral singing. Stage an intimate performance with piano alone, invite a guitar player to strum along for some contemporary color, or use the orchestrated SoundTrax for full effect.

Broadway veteran and comedian Ana Gasteyer's holiday album is filled with clever gems like this nifty novelty number. Can you think of a rhyme for the word Christmas? It's nearly impossible. After several failed attempts, grins, chuckles, and one-liners throughout the jazzy tune, the lyrics conclude that we don't need a rhyme for Christmas, only you!

From Trans-Siberian Orchestra's triple platinum album, Christmas Eve and Other Stories, this respectful treatment of Pachelbel's Canon features patterned vocal parts that can be quickly taught and layered. The four-hand piano accompaniment is for two players at one piano, but is not difficult to play. Combine with Bob Phillips' string orchestra arrangement or the classical sounding SoundTrax CD. A highlight for any holiday concert!

Originally popularized by Chuck Berry in 1958, some say this was the very first rock 'n' roll Christmas song. Since then, it's been covered by everybody from Bryan Adams and Billy Idol to Kelly Clarkson, Conan O'Brien, and The Muppets! Kirby Shaw kicks off his arrangement with that characteristic guitar lick and builds from there. The optional SoundPax allows you to assemble your own rock band, or use the live-instrument SoundTrax CD.
