Hip Hop Reindeer - Singles Reproducible Kit

In The Spirit - Singles Reproducible Kit
15/04/2009 Duration: 01minOver the years we've learned that kids just love big band jazz tunes. Despite the busy and complex rhythm and big band instrumental tracks on the recording, the vocal part is actually pretty simple. It's also quite infectious. We affectionately nicknamed it "In The Mood Meets Bandstand Boogie At Christmas." It will be a real crowd-pleaser for your next holiday program. (from Music K-8, Vol. 18, No. 2)

Harmony
28/01/2009 Duration: 02minThis richly beautiful song is based on Johann Pachelbel's famous chord progression for his Canon In D. Right off the bat, you could read a sacred theme into this text, even though it never specifies anything sacred. This song is very special to us, and over the years it has remained a favorite to us and to the many thousands of schools who have used it.

Hallelujah!
21/01/2009 Duration: 03minWe all know the thrill of singing this great work with a full orchestra - the power, the glory, the chills up your spine. But the original version isn't exactly designed for children's voices. That's why we have created a new setting of this classic especially developed for young choirs. It is in a lower key, and is arranged for two treble voices.

The Crawdad Song
14/01/2009 Duration: 45sThis popular old folk tune originated in the 19th century South, a slight variant on "Sweet Thing." It's easy-going and fun to sing, especially the question and answer on "honey" and "babe."
