About the Arranger: Mac Huff
Mac Huff is an arranger whose work spans commercial film and television music as well as educational choral settings. His arrangements are known for balancing accessibility with musical substance, making them reliable choices for groups looking to program contemporary material without sacrificing artistry.
Why we love this
The arrangement respects what makes the original song effective while giving your singers genuine musical material to work with. Huff's scoring allows both concert and show choirs to find their footing here, which means you're not compromising repertoire quality just to capture a seasonal moment.
What to expect
This is unguarded joy. The song radiates warmth and connection without sentiment, making it feel immediate and genuinely celebratory rather than precious. Your singers will feel the lift in the harmonic writing.
Who it's for
Concert choirs seeking contemporary holiday material that doesn't rely on traditional carols; show choirs who want something spirited but musically grounded; music directors building a winter program that balances established repertoire with engaging newer work.
How to get the most out of it
- Pay attention to the balance between choir and instruments in the recorded accompaniment. Your singers should sit comfortably on top without forcing.
- Lock the energy from the first entrance. This is a celebration, not a contemplation; maintain brightness and forward momentum throughout.
- Coordinate articulation across your sections so the choral writing lands with the precision the arrangement demands.
- Use the accompaniment as a rehearsal tool, but consider performing with live instruments if possible to sharpen the ensemble response.
How to use it
Pair this with one or two standard holiday selections to create a winter concert that acknowledges both tradition and contemporary repertoire. The energetic character makes it an excellent closing number or a strong anchor in the middle of a longer program.
