Music K-8 Music Sampler Podcast

For almost two centuries, the memorable poem by Clement Clarke Moore has been passed from generation to generation helping shape our mental images of Christmas. We wanted to wrap it up musically for today's children, and who is better to do that than Teresa Jennings?

Nice, Nice Christmas Favorites includes: "A Nice, Nice Christmas," "North Pole, North Pole," "When The Lights All Shine," "I Saw Three Ships," "Gloria," "In The Spirit," and "Peaceful Night."

Teresa Jennings has created an upbeat, pop-style tune that is great for the holidays (but not Christmas-specific). As with the hundreds of downloadable songs we sell, this free song comes in a zipped file that contains everything you need: a printable PDF of the written music as well as MP3s of the full-performance and accompaniment-only tracks.

Remembering the premise that the best way to memorize something is to put it to music and sing it, we present you with "We The People." This piece has a slow stately feel to it, and snare drums plus the occasional Liberty Bell orchestral chimes add to the patriotic feeling. Along with that, we've added strings, brass, and electric guitars. It's very inspiring. (from Music K-8, Vol. 18, No. 1)
