More about this title
About the Arranger: Douglas E. Wagner
Douglas E. Wagner brings three decades of high school music direction into his prolific career as a composer and arranger. A Butler University graduate with degrees at both undergraduate and graduate levels, Wagner has published more than 3,500 works across choral, band, orchestral, handbell, organ, piano, and vocal genres since 1973. His music reaches far beyond the page; over seventeen million copies have found their way into concert halls, rehearsal rooms, and broadcasts worldwide.
Based in Indianapolis, Wagner has established himself as one of the most performed contemporary composers in American schools and churches. His deep understanding of what works in ensemble settings comes directly from his years spent in the classroom, managing the real constraints and possibilities of student musicians.
Why we love this
Wagner's gift for melody selection shines in this medley. He understands what singers need to learn quickly without sacrificing the joy of the holidays, and the SAB voicing sits naturally across a range of choir levels. The option to add your band creates a genuine festival moment without requiring weeks of rehearsal time.
What to expect
This medley captures the uncomplicated warmth of holiday traditions. The familiar melodies settle into the harmonic language quickly, creating that satisfying moment when a choir realizes they already know how to sing something beautiful together. It feels like coming home.
Who it's for
Directors preparing winter concerts on a tight timeline will find this medley a lifeline. It works for middle school through adult choirs and requires no soloists or complicated staging. The straightforward writing lets singers focus on blend and tone rather than navigating complex arrangements.
How to get the most out of it
- Keep the three melodies distinct in character rather than blending them into one textureless whole. Each song brings its own emotional weight, so honor the contrast between them.
- Attend carefully to the piano part. Though simple, it provides the harmonic foundation that makes the SAB voicing sing. A confident accompanist can carry singers through any moments of uncertainty.
- If combining with your band, give wind players a section rehearsal with the choir first. They need to hear how the voices sit within the texture, not float above it.
How to use it
Use this as your anchor in a holiday concert finale, especially if you're planning a band and choir collaboration. It also works well as the second or third piece in a winter program, giving your choir a confidence boost before moving into more demanding repertoire.
Skills your students will build
- Blending three distinct melodic lines in a choral texture
- Singing in SAB voicing with clear part independence
