A holiday pops tune straight out of the Rat Pack era, co-written by Ol' Blue Eyes himself! This nostalgic mid-tempo swing arrangement starts with voices swapping the melody, then blossoms into sweet choral sonorities. Oh, by gosh, by golly, consider using the SoundTrax CD or SoundPax parts to take full advantage of Mark Hayes's snazzy, jazzy arrangement.

Practical, timeless advice abounds in this jaunty contemporary choral with texts lifted from Renaissance-era poetry and a translation of ancient verse. The opening melody winds around the tonic triad before the B section breaks into colorful contemporary harmony in a chorale setting. Light, yet legit.
