About the Arranger: Teena Chinn
Teena Chinn is an accomplished arranger whose work appears regularly in choral collections and educational series. She specializes in creating engaging pop and holiday arrangements that maintain musical integrity while remaining accessible to student singers.
Why we love this
Chinn's sequencing of these eight standards feels inevitable once you hear it; each song flows into the next without jarring transitions, which takes real skill at this length. The 2-part voicing keeps the focus on the arrangements and storytelling rather than technical complexity, letting younger singers deliver genuine musicality. You get five minutes of crowd-pleasing holiday material that will earn applause without becoming didactic.
What to expect
Warm and nostalgic without sentimentality. The medley captures the bright energy of holiday classics while the careful arrangements give them shape and purpose. It feels celebratory and approachable, never condescending.
Who it's for
This medley serves choirs in grades 3 and up who want solid holiday concert material that combines familiarity with polish. It works equally well for school choirs, community ensembles, and youth groups seeking secular repertoire that audiences will recognize and enjoy.
How to get the most out of it
- Rehearse the transitions between songs first. Mark them clearly in your scores and conduct them with intention so the ensemble understands exactly where the energy shifts.
- Shape the phrasing within each song individually before linking them. Each tune has its own character, and singers need to feel that distinction before the medley cohesion kicks in.
- Use the recorded accompaniment to lock the rhythmic feel and tempo flow; the seamless transitions depend on consistent accompaniment support.
How to use it
Position this as your closing piece at a winter concert; the medley format and familiar tunes make it an excellent finale that leaves audiences smiling. Alternatively, use it as a centerpiece in a holiday-themed program, pairing it with one or two contrasting sacred or instrumental selections for balance.
Skills your students will build
- Singing stylistically distinct songs within a continuous medley
- Following smooth harmonic and melodic transitions between sections
- Maintaining steady tempo and ensemble blend across multiple key centers
- Responding to subtle conducting cues that mark sectional shifts
