This medley is a collection of bright, well-known Christmas carols that may be shared in a variety of ways: * Perform as a special feature or a finale to a holiday concert or program for chorus and concert band. * Perform as a choral piece alone, without concert band. May be used with piano only. « Perform with or without audience participation in a sing-along of “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” at the end. Choral Preparation Vowels are the basis for a good choral tone. They are to be sung with a relaxed jaw, a vertical mouth shape and space inside the mouth. This helps to produce a full and free vocal tone quality that blends well with other voices. Sing the following exercise to practice the five basic vowel sounds: eh, e2, ai, oh and 00. Move up or down by half steps on each repetition. Part L ARRANGER ‘Audrey Snyder, a choral composer and arranger, is widely recognized as one of the top educational choral writers today.
