Combining two beautiful songs--Jolly Old St. Nicholas and Toyland--to create the sweetness and nostalgia of the holiday season, here is a wonderful addition to your winter concert. Setting Jolly Old St. Nicholas in 6/8 rather than the usual common time, the arranger creates a dreamlike state where young children can imagine all the toys they wish for. Written during the Pandemic, this new arrangement encourages the innocence of childhood to shine through the darkness.

Incorporating Merengue dance rhythms from the Dominican Republic - rhythms based on the Dominican drum called a tambora, which has skins on two sides. This energetic and rhythmic song was featured at the Central/North Central ACDA honors choir concert in 2018. Even the audience can join in on the fun dancing and clapping along with the choir.

This is an energetic and uplifting song about the joy of young people spinning and turning. The music spins and stops like a pinwheel whirling through the air.
