Joseph M. Martin : Christmastime

Christmastime is a modern Christmas carol that has quickly become part of the standard holiday songbook. Dancing joyfully between a neoclassical vibe and a light jazz pop idiom, this piece pushes all the right buttons for a happy holiday moment in your concerts or worship services. The text celebrates bells and the inclusion of Ding Dong! Merrily on High adds a special sparkle. Present with piano only or full orchestra, or with the optional handbell part to open this anthem to even more possibilities! Yes!

Arranger: Joseph M. Martin | Composer: Michael W. Smith Performed By: Michael W. Smith

Alan Billingsley : December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night)

Originally performed by The Four Seasons, this arrangement is full of energy and would be a fun addition to any concert program. Largely homophonic in texture, this song would also serve as a great tool for teaching syncopation.
