Rockin' With Santa (Medley) (arr. Mac Huff): 3-Part Mixed Choral Octavo

Huff's medley approach lets you program a full holiday moment without sacrificing rehearsal time on multiple pieces. The three-part voicing sits comfortably for mixed choirs while maintaining genuine energy, and the arrangement carries enough personality to keep holiday concerts from feeling rote.

Upbeat and festive, with enough groove and modern sensibility to appeal to singers who might roll their eyes at straight carol arrangements. The medley format creates momentum and variety, keeping both the ensemble and audience engaged throughout.

Any mixed choir looking to add a contemporary holiday piece to their December concert. This works equally well for high school choirs, community groups, and church ensembles wanting something more rhythmically engaging than traditional carols.

• Establish a clear pulse in the opening section; this medley lives or dies by rhythmic confidence and the grooves need to sit tight from the first measures.
• Blend the three parts carefully during the slower, more lyrical moments to avoid any one voice standing out awkwardly.
• Have your singers mark dynamic shifts between medley sections so transitions feel intentional rather than abrupt.

Position this in the second half of your concert, after you've established your traditional holiday fare. It provides a tonal shift that refreshes the program and gives your singers a chance to show their contemporary music chops before closing with something more formal.

• Rhythmic precision in syncopated passages
• Blending three distinct vocal lines with equal weight
• Transitions between stylistically different song sections
• Rhythmic independence from accompaniment grooves
