About the Composer: Andy Beck

Andy Beck directs choral publications at Alfred Music and has composed and arranged over 450 choral works, vocal resources, and children's musicals that are performed by singers across the globe. His educational materials, including Sing at First Sight, Foundations in Choral Sight Singing, and Vocalize! 45 Vocal Warm-Ups That Teach Technique, are standard resources in choral classrooms and rehearsal halls.

Beyond the page, Beck works as a guest conductor, choreographer, adjudicator, and clinician for music educators and students throughout the United States and internationally.

Why we love this

Beck's novelty pieces have a gift for capturing seasonal joy without condescension. The recorded accompaniment in this digital download means your singers hear a professional interpretation immediately, removing barriers to rehearsal and freeing your time for musicality rather than learning the harmonic landscape.

What to expect

Playful and bright, with the kind of cheerful energy that captures the fun of a snowy day. The piece radiates seasonal warmth without feeling forced or overly sentimental.

Who it's for

This digital download works for any choir seeking accessible, uplifting winter programming, from high school choirs to community ensembles. The recorded accompaniment makes it practical for directors managing multiple rehearsals or students learning independently.

How to get the most out of it

Establish the rhythmic character early in rehearsals using the recorded accompaniment; let singers hear how the groove sits before drilling parts.
Balance the melody with supporting voices so text remains clear even in moments of fuller texture.
Consider what physical energy or movement complements the novelty character; this piece invites ensemble personality.

How to use it

Pair this with more traditional or serious winter repertoire to create programming balance at a holiday concert. Its accessible character also makes it ideal for outreach performances or informal community settings where joy and connection matter more than technical difficulty.
