More about this title

About the Composer: Jule Styne

Jule Styne (1905-1975) composed some of the most recognizable melodies in American popular music and musical theater. His gift for writing songs that stick in the listener's mind made him a fixture on Broadway and in Hollywood, where he collaborated with legendary lyricists including Sammy Cahn, Stephen Sondheim, and Bob Merrill. His works span from sophisticated jazz-influenced standards to infectious holiday favorites that have become cultural touchstones across generations.

For music educators, Styne's compositions offer a masterclass in singable melody and harmonic clarity. His songs work equally well in choral settings, jazz ensembles, and pop arrangements because the core musical idea is always crystal clear. Teaching his material builds students' understanding of how great songwriting combines accessibility with genuine musical substance.

Why we love this

Andy Beck's arrangement captures the lighthearted spirit of this holiday standard while giving your choir something genuinely fun to perform. The jazz harmonies and rhythmic energy make it feel contemporary, yet the melody remains so strong that audiences connect with it immediately. It's the kind of piece that energizes a winter concert without requiring extensive rehearsal time.

What to expect

Bright, propulsive, and full of momentum. The jazz harmonies give the familiar melody a sophisticated shimmer while the rhythmic drive keeps everything moving forward with genuine joy.

Who it's for

Choirs at the high school and college level will find this arrangement accessible and gratifying. Directors seeking upbeat, crowd-pleasing holiday repertoire that doesn't require extensive vocal gymnastics will appreciate how well it fits into a winter concert alongside more serious works.

How to get the most out of it

  • Lean into the swing feel on the eighth notes; this isn't a march or ballad, so let the rhythm breathe and bounce slightly.
  • Balance the harmony parts so the melody always reads clearly, especially if you're adding instrumental accompaniment from the parts that are available.
  • Use the recorded accompaniment to lock in the tempo and groove, then gradually rehearse without it to build independence.
  • Bring out the personality in any sections marked with dynamic contrasts; this arrangement likely has color changes that deserve attention.

How to use it

Place this strategically in your holiday concert to shift the energy and lift the mood. It pairs well in a winter set that includes both traditional carols and contemporary holiday pop, and the shorter length makes it ideal for filling a specific programming slot. Consider featuring it early in the second half to wake up an audience after a more introspective section.

Skills your students will build

  • Singing in a jazz-influenced harmonic style with altered chords and jazz voice leading
  • Interpreting swing rhythm and maintaining forward momentum in a syncopated context
  • Balancing melody against full harmonic texture in a four-part arrangement
  • Performing with recorded accompaniment and matching style to a commercial audio reference
