About the Composer: Sally K. Albrecht

Sally K. Albrecht

Sally K. Albrecht has shaped American choral music for over four decades as a composer, conductor, and clinician with a distinctive focus on movement and staging. Her catalog includes more than 600 choral works alongside 75 larger musicals and songbooks, earning her the ASCAP Special Music Award annually since 1987. She spent more than thirty years leading school choral and vocal publications for major educational publishers, including Alfred Music, while simultaneously conducting honor choirs at venues like Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, and The Kennedy Center.

Holding degrees from Rollins College (B.A. in Music and Theater, 1976), the University of Miami (M.A. in Drama, 1977; M.M. in Accompanying, 1979), Albrecht has taught at Oakland University, Jersey City State College, and Meredith College. In 2021, she received the Distinguished Alumna Award from both the University of Miami Frost School of Music and Rollins College, where she serves on the Board of Trustees. She currently resides in Wake Forest, North Carolina with her husband, composer and arranger Jay Althouse.

Why we love this

Albrecht builds movement and staging directly into the musical fabric of this piece, so your singers aren't learning choreography as an afterthought but experiencing it as part of the composition itself. The repetition and rhythmic momentum make this accessible to mixed-ability choirs while maintaining enough character and musical interest to keep strong singers engaged. Winter concerts need repertoire that feels fresh and contemporary without sacrificing musicality, and this delivers on both counts.

What to expect

Energetic, modern, and playful, with the kind of rhythmic momentum that makes singers want to move. The repetition of the title phrase creates a hook that audiences remember long after the concert ends, while the accompaniment keeps the groove locked and propulsive. This is winter music for choirs that want to bring warmth and humor to their January programming.

Who it's for

Mixed-voice choirs at the middle school through adult community level will find this accessible and fun to perform. Directors seeking contemporary seasonal repertoire with built-in staging will appreciate Albrecht's integration of movement into the musical design. This works especially well for programs that want personality and visual interest without requiring elaborate sets or costumes.

How to get the most out of it

  • Establish a clear beat pattern early in rehearsals so singers can commit to the rhythmic drive. Movement will feel more confident and unified when everyone knows exactly where the pulse sits.
  • Map staging during the learning phase rather than waiting until the piece is musically secure. Since movement is compositionally integrated, singers will internalize the music more fully when they're moving through it from the start.
  • Use the recorded accompaniment to lock in the groove, especially if your singers are unfamiliar with the modern rhythmic language. Hearing the full texture helps them understand where their line sits in the overall sound.
  • Keep the energy bright and propulsive throughout. This piece thrives on forward motion, so resist the urge to slow down or pull back, even during dynamic dips.

How to use it

Open a winter concert with this piece to establish an upbeat tone and signal to the audience that you're offering something contemporary and theatrical alongside more traditional seasonal fare. It pairs well with quieter, more introspective holiday selections, creating contrast and keeping energy flowing through the second half. Consider using it as a finale if your program leans toward lighter, more accessible repertoire overall.
