Imagine a campfire! Envision sitting around the bright flames with your friends and family singing songs out in the great expanse. Imagine that those melodies you sing stir up joy, hope, and belief in the great wonders of the world. Melodies have connected different kinds of people for many, many years. Music brings us closer, and music makes any occasion more festive and memorable. This book was written to promote the love of old folk melodies, provide processional music for special celebrations, and to include players of all levels. Music educators will find that there are many possibilities and combinations for practice and performance. Includes a 16-page pull-out section of twelve selected pieces for an optional cello part.

It is my great hope that music students, families, and educators will all enjoy this very special collection of Beautiful Melodies from Around the World.

Santa is technology challenged as he attempts to surf the net. Some clever students from your school find home pages from around the world, and help convince Santa that using E-mail will make his job a lot easier - he won't have to lick stamps anymore! This musical has each grade in your school represent a different country: Denmark, Germany, Mexico, Italy, England, China (for Chinese New Years), and Israel (for Hanukkah) are all visited. You can use each country, or choose the countries that are most relevant to your curriculum. Singing, dancing, reader's theatre and a funny script make this musical very entertaining for the audience as well as an incredible learning experience for the students who participate. An original theme song contrasts with traditional songs and carols, including a fully orchestrated 2 part Hallelujah Chorus.
