More about this title
Why we love this
Greg Gilpin's arrangement captures the infectious energy of a contemporary country-pop sound while keeping the 2-part voicing accessible and fun. The song's structure practically writes its own choreography, giving your singers clear moments to connect with the audience beyond the vocal line. It's the kind of piece that energizes a winter concert without requiring a massive production budget.
What to expect
Bright and playful, with the harmonic warmth of country music and the pop sensibility that keeps it moving forward. The piece sparkles without being saccharine, landing somewhere between a holiday classic and modern radio energy.
Who it's for
Middle school and high school choirs looking for contemporary holiday material that appeals to younger singers. This works equally well for community choirs, church choirs, and show choirs seeking an accessible, energetic winter selection.
How to get the most out of it
- Let the rhythm section lock in first during rehearsals. The country-pop groove depends on a steady pulse, so anchor your soloists and accompaniment before layering in the choir.
- Encourage natural phrasing that matches the speech rhythm of the lyrics. This isn't classical diction; it's conversational and immediate.
- If you're using the optional SoundTrax CD, rehearse with it early and often. Your singers need time to internalize the accompaniment before adding choreography or staging.
How to use it
Open a winter concert with this to set an upbeat tone, or anchor the second half of your program when you need a shift from more traditional seasonal fare. It pairs well alongside classic holiday arrangements when you want to show range and contemporary taste.
