SY21CatPages.qxp_Layout 1 7/30/21 3:20 PM Page 1 A Christmas K-4 Musical Perfectly Designed For Your Young Performers! ANTLERS A Fashionable Musical For Young Voices by Teresa Jennings & Karl Hitzemann Everyone knows that all magic reindeer just want to fly, right? Or do they? This imaginative little musical dares to consider that maybe, just maybe, a reindeer’s career outcome doesn’t have to be quite so predictable. In fact, it could be very different. Such is the case in our story, where a few recent graduates of the School of Reindeer have realized that their true passions call less for flying, and more for drawing, sewing, and crafting. In other words, they want to be fashion designers. And not just any fashion designers – ANTLER fashion designers! With a little help from their North Pole friends, notably some elves and other reindeer, they decide to showcase some of their fabulous couture on the runway. Unbeknownst to them, Santa and Mrs. Claus just happen to catch some of the show and are very impressed. So much so that they invite the designers to create new antler fashions for the “famous eight” – and just in time to wear for their big night out! Designed for ease of production and flexibility, this delightful musical offers opportunities for creativity, imagination, and artistic expression. With five simple and memorable songs (and some action music), young performers will delight in the chance to not only create their own stylish antler designs, but to showcase them as they walk, strut, sway, and sashay across your performance area this holiday season. The five original songs include: Christmas Is Right Around The Corner, Stylish, Design Your Dreams, On The Runway, and Ready For Christmas. As with all of our revues and musicals, there is a thoughtfully designed Teacher’s Guide, with lots of suggestions for making a great performance. Also included are reproducible Singer’s Parts, lyric sheets, posters, and program covers. ANTLERS is available in four ways: printed Teacher’s Handbook with CD, printed Teacher’s Handbook with downloadable MP3s, downloadable PDFs and MP3s, and, for the best of both worlds, our CONVENIENCE COMBO KIT, which includes both print/CD and downloadable files.

Sweet,Sweet, Cute,Cute, AndAnd Clever Songs For Your Youngest Voices! THE YOUNG & THE MERRY A Collection Of Seasonal Songs For Little Singers byb Teresa & Paul Jennings and Mike Wilson Our writers love creating songs for that festive season of the year, and they especially have ffun writing music for your younger singers. We have filled this new collection with an array of ssome of their best tunes in recent years. • Let’s Build A Gingerbread House - Your young singers will love this little tune. It has a bbouncy swing style and sweet, simple lyrics. Performing in front of an audience will certainly be eenough to yield the “awwww” factor. But if you really want to get to them, consider adding a bit oof movement with some adorable dance moves. • Baby Christmas Tree - This adaptation of the familiar Christmas carol, “O Christmas TTree,” is anything but traditional, though at first, you may think so. It starts with a lush oorchestral introduction, but then quickly evolves (devolves?) into a combination rock/novelty ppiece, complete with sound effects usefully placed as cues for singers. • What’s In That Stocking? - This sweet little song might be just the thing you’re looking ffor. It poses the question which every kid has surely wondered at one time or another. Of ccourse, the inability to contain their curiosity also leads to the final decision, “Let’s peek!” • Snowflake, Snowflake - “Snowflake, Snowflake” is a very simple and very short song for yyour primary group. With an accompaniment recording of all acoustic instruments including gguitar, mandolin, bass, piano, percussion, and strings, we took a calm, peaceful approach. • A Hat For My Snowman - Your young singers will shine with this cute and bouncy little ttune about providing the appropriate attire for a snowman. • Winter Wiggles - In the classroom or in a performance, here’s an opportunity for your kkids to release all that pent up energy from being stuck inside during the cold winter months. TThe lyrics are deliberately basic and easy to learn so that they don’t upstage the important stuff: tthe wiggling! We give suggestions for movement, including the wiggles. • Peppermint Candy Cane - This bouncy tune praises that delectable sweet treat in such a wway that even your youngest singers will be able to join in. It’s repetitious, with simple lyrics thath are easy to remember.b AAdddd movement to your performancef with the help of the choreography video. • Jingle Bell Parade - Use this piece in performance at your holiday concert, or use it as a processional or recessional. Including movement is easy: Simply add marching steps, even if just in place.

SONGS FOR AUTUMN A Creative Collection For Young Voices bby Teresa Jennings, John Riggio & Paul Jennings Autumn is probably our favorite time of year, and over the years we have written some ttasty tunes to sing along with this super season. In this unique collection you will find the ffollowing great songs: • An Autumn-ish Feelin’ - This super happy song is upbeat and enthusiastic, and a lot of ffun to sing, especially if you happen to be an autumn aficionado. Done in a pop/rock style, with aan optional second part, use this song in your classroom for the joy of it or in a performance ssetting, maybe adding some movement and color with scarves or ribbons if you like. • I Like The Colors Of The Fall - Though this song is quite simple, it’s also very cute and ffunny. The real humor comes from the contrast between the oblivious singers and the ccommentator. They are blithely adoring the colors of the fall, no matter how frustrated the sspeaker gets. Your challenge may be getting them to continue singing without giggling! • Autumn Leaf - In our homage to the season, we bring you this lovely Latin piece. The hhappy, upbeat rhythm and melody are easy to read and learn and help reinforce your study of ssyncopation. The melody begins as a unison line and splits into an optional divisi at the chorus. • Amblin’ Down An Autumn Avenue - Here’s a great song to use with your autumn pperformances. It’s an easy-goin’ swing tune with a big band/string accompaniment. Despite the complexityc of the background instrumentals, the vocals are all unison and have very simple lyrics. • Apple On A Stick - A perfect tune for an autumn performance, this song hearkens back tto one of the simple pleasures of yesteryear – caramel apples! This being a soft-shoe piece, it sswings. Besides being totally delightful and happy to sing, this song also has an optional section wwhere your singers get to whistle. • There Is No Time Like The Autumn - If you liked our winter partner song “A Perfect WWinter Day” you will enjoy our autumnal partners in this country/folk style setting. The first ppart is introduced by itself the first time through, with the second part stating its case on the rrepeat. A third time through the song allows the two parts to combine. • Every Autumn - Here’s a poetic look at this idyllic season, when school begins and the llandscaped iis ripei withi h vibrantib colors.l TTheh song hhas some syncopation, but after listening to the recording, we feel certain your singers will pick it up easily. There are also a few divisis in the song, all of which are optional. • Autumnal Equinox - This tune certainly has a lot going for it! Set in a delicious pop/Latin style, this energetic piece is cross-curricular, teaching facts about the equinox, and it lends itself easily to simple movement (“If you like autumn, put your hands in the air!”). Plus, we’re pretty sure your kids will relate to the pop vibe and want to move.

Brand New Resources For Your Music Classroom! GAMES & GROOVES FOR BUCKET BAND, RHYTHM STICKS, AND LOTS OF JOYOUS INSTRUMENTS by John Riggio and Paul Jennings Over the last few years, bucket bands have grown greatly in popularity.p Percussion is an ideal way to teach rhythmic concepts aand this low-cost percussion ensemble is a great way to feel the joyj of group performance without breaking your budget. This unique new product by John Riggio and Paul Jennings iis designed for players just beyond beginners, though some or aall players can easily adapt the included parts. Unlike some bbucket band music, this is written with just one bucket part, iintended to be performed on a small to medium-size bucket. If yyour ensemble has large/bass buckets, they can either play the wwritten part or devise a more bass-like part to add. Every selection features rhythm sticks, though the tracks are designedd to work with just buckets, or any combination of the partsp provided. These change from tune to tune and include BoomwhackersB ®, ukulele, cowbell, shaker, guiro, and more. There are two basic types of tunes here, games and game-likeg tunes, and grooves. The games each stand on their own,o and the grooves are short, repetitive, and fun to play, withw many repeats. Some songs have multiple tempos to ease learning.l And, as you may have learned with other music from PlankP Road Publishing and MUSIC K-8, we encourage and permitp you to adapt all music to best serve your needs. This unique collection includes: • Grizzly Bear Groove • Buckets Are Forever (A Secret Agent Groove) • Grape Jelly Groove • Louder and Softer • Divide & Echo • Build-A-Beat • Rhythm Roundabout • Bucket Band B-I-N-G-O TTheseh tracksk were producedd d bby JJohnh RRiggio,i i whoh bbringsi you many of Plank Road’s most popular works.

Our ensemble, as written, includes a single bucket band part, rhythm sticks, sand blocks (or theth Noodle Blocks in our new Noodle Kits™ – see page 4 for details), rainstick, Boomwhackers®, aandn small triangle (or the nice sounding Chime Plate from our Noodle Kits™). Virtually all parts arear optional, especially if you use the full recording. You will note that all three instruments in our new Noodle Kits™ can be used with this tune. TTo learn more about them, view the demo video at our web site where you can hear and see each iinstrumentn played. Ask your players to play with seriousness, as this is a work that should be taken earnestly. YYes, it has an exuberant feel, but it should be played musically making effects more dramatic.

New And Classic Works In A High Quality Octavo Format
See all of the songs available in our Choral Music For Young Voices series on our web site. MusicK8.com/Chorals Note that songs marked with an * are also available as Singles Reproducible Kits. I FEEL LIKE FA LA LA LA* by Teresa Jennings This pop Latin style tune is exciting, challenging, musical, and really fun to perform! The subject of the song is feeling, specifically the feeling we get during “that time of year.” While it is written as a 2-part piece, there is an optional part 3 that comes in and out that adds a wonderful enhancement. The energy of the song comes not just from the voices, but from the rhythm. There is body percussion indicated on the music that makes it even more electrifying when it’s all put together. CH-0068 I Feel Like Fa La La La - 2-Part, opt. 3-Part Treble Choral (minimum of 5) ...... 1.95 CH-0068D I Feel Like Fa La La La - MasterTracks P/A CD...... 19.95 CH-0068E I Feel Like Fa La La La - Downloadable MasterTracks...... 17.95 SONG OF MARY adapted/music by Mike Wilson “Song Of Mary” is a new musical setting of the old Basque text known as “Gabriel’s Message” or “The Angel Gabriel.” This 3-part mixed arrangement allows the young men in your older choirs to be involved, though parts 2 and 3 are optional. After a string and horn flourish in the introduction, verse one settles into gentle unison vocals accompanied by a flowing, arpeggiated piano. Parts 2 and 3 echo and support the melody line, then combine and intertwine with it to create a joyful 3-part chorus. CH-0069 Song Of Mary - 3-Part Mixed Choral (minimum of 5)...... 1.95 CH-0069D Song Of Mary - MasterTracks P/A CD...... 19.95 CH-0069E Song Of Mary - Downloadable MasterTracks...... 17.95 EVERY SEASON by Karl Hitzemann This hauntingly beautiful song about the changing seasons is perfect for performances any time of the year and is also a strong candidate for a contest piece. It’s full of musical moments and opportunities for vocal excellence, and moves from minor to major keys with times of tension and resolution. There are three vocal parts, but as usual, parts 2 and 3 are optional. The recorded accompaniment is very stirring and includes piano, flugelhorn, wind chimes, strings, and a melancholy countermelody played on a trumpet with a Harmon mute. As awesome as this recorded accompaniment sounds, you could also play the provided piano part to give you even more leeway for ebbs and flows with the tempo. Either option will have a tremendous impact. CH-0071 Every Season - 3-Part Mixed Choral (minimum of 5)...... 1.95 CH-0071D Every Season - MasterTracks P/A CD ...... 19.95 CH-0071E Every Season - Downloadable MasterTracks ...... 17.95 SCOTTISH BLESSINGS by Mike Wilson This song was inspired by a trip to Scotland and some common Scottish colloquialisms and blessings heard there. “Lang may your lum reek” means “long may your chimney smoke” (a blessing for long life). “Weel may your boatie row and aye, your crew increase” is a blessing for prosperity and a large family. This 3-part mixed song was written for any middle age to older choir. It can be sung with all three parts, parts 1 and 2 only, or unison. And of course, there are Scottish/Irish instruments heard on the recording – bodhrán, uilleann pipes, and accordion. CH-0072 Scottish Blessings - 3-Part Mixed Choral (minimum of 5) ...... 1.95 CH-0072D Scottish Blessings - MasterTracks P/A CD...... 19.95 CH-0072E Scottish Blessings - Downloadable MasterTracks...... 17.95 MOLLY MALONE* arr. Karl O’Hitzemann The Irish folk song, “Molly Malone” (also known as “Cockles and Mussels”) is the unofficial anthem of Dublin, Ireland. Our arrangement of this old tune features two vocal parts. You also have the option of using a soloist in several measures. CH-0053 Molly Malone - 2-Part Choral (minimum of 5)...... 1.95 CH-0053D Molly Malone - MasterTracks P/A CD...... 19.95 CH-0053E Molly Malone - Downloadable MasterTracks ...... 17.95 CAROLINA IN THE MORNING Walter Donaldson & Gus Kahn/arr. Mike Wilson First published in 1922, this tune has such a hook that once you start singing it, you just can’t stop. We’ve created this 3-part mixed version for your older choirs, but it can also work as a 2-part or unison piece. As this song is written as a shuffle, this is a great opportunity to discuss or revisit the difference between a straight and swing feel. The road map is pretty straight ahead. You basically sing it through twice. However, the second time you will be adding a little variety by whistling the first two lines of part 1. You might even want to try singing this one a cappella. CH-0070 Carolina In The Morning - 3-Part Mixed Choral (minimum of 5) ...... 1.95 CH-0070D Carolina In The Morning - MasterTracks P/A CD ...... 19.95 CH-0070E Carolina In The Morning - Downloadable MasterTracks...... 17.95 WEEVILY WHEAT adapted/arr. Mike Wilson This is really an easy song to learn, though this 2-part arrangement might prove a bit challenging for younger groups. Part 1 incorporates the actual melody, while part 2 bounces off of it and adds the harmonies. After the intro, you get a unison chorus before part 2 strays away starting its antics at the first verse. The song should be sung energetically from start to finish. CH-0066 Weevily Wheat - 2-Part Choral (minimum of 5)...... 1.95 CH-0066D Weevily Wheat - MasterTracks P/A CD...... 19.95 CH-0066E Weevily Wheat - Downloadable MasterTracks ...... 17.95 NO GREATER LOVE by Mike Wilson “No Greater Love” is a stirring and majestic Memorial Day tribute to those who gave their all for their country. The vocal melody lines are mirrored and supported on the recording by the French horn. The constant pulse of percussion and strings provides energy and pending intensity, while snare drums add a military flavor. CH-0067 No Greater Love - 2-Part Choral (minimum of 5)...... 1.95 CH-0067D No Greater Love - MasterTracks P/A CD ...... 19.95 CH-0067E No Greater Love - Downloadable MasterTracks ...... 17.95 To see ALL of our chorals, please visit...

When the holidaysy come, celebrate with this joyous collection! SING WHEN THE HOLIDAYS COME A Joyous Collection For Young Voices bby Teresa Jennings, Mike Wilson & Paul Jennings Our creative writers have a unique talent for capturing the many joys and other emotions tthat surround our seasonal celebrations. And they do it with spirit, memorable music, and humor. TThese songs are ones that young singers will remember long after the season is over. Includes: • I Feel Like Fa La La La - This tune is exciting, challenging, musical, and really fun to pperform! The lyrics give you the flexibility to use it for Christmas, holidays, or seasonal pperformances, as you need. While it is written as a 2-part piece, there is an optional part 3. • If I Were A Reindeer - If you were a reindeer, where would you be? What would you do? TThese and other burning questions are asked and answered in this extremely fun, hard-swinging ssong. A video of movement ideas is also included. • When The Holidays Come - This Celtic style song has a simplicity that is both ccomfortable, yet lively at the same time. Part of that comes from the use of basic rhythmic claps aand stomps which accompany the singing. • Christmas Night - The message is simple. Amidst all the commercialization of the CChristmas season, there is a gift that every one of us can give: the gift of ourselves to one another. ““Christmas Night” expresses that message in a short, easy to learn, unison presentation. • Chestnut - This “nutty” lighthearted partner song pays homage to the humble chestnut wwith a bit of whimsy. • Fiesta De Navidad - Heralding back to the ’60s, this upbeat, clap-along song about hhaving a Christmas party takes its cue from the likes of the Beatles, The Hollies, and others. The vverses are in unison but the chorus and bridge are an optional 3-part (SSA). • Glow - This bluesy tune is technically a song of peace, using light (candles) as the mmetaphor for connection to each other, making it a great piece for a holiday performance or any ttime of year. The song is 3-part mixed, but the third part is optional. • Sing For Joy! - This song was designed to be a huge Christmas piece; Christmas in eessence, yet without specific reference to Christmas. A regal horn section invites your aattention with herald trumpets and a full complement of brass, winds, strings, and percussion.

DESIGNER DOJO AWARD CERTIFICATES Talk about great motivation and reward potential! Because of the great popularity of our first award certificates (see below) and the continuing love students have for our acclaimed Recorder Karate method, we commissioned the amazing artist, Jennifer Vulpas, to create a unique manga/animé-style character for each certificate. There is a certificate for each of the nine levels and nine colors of belts, as well as one special certificate with a blank heading and no color for the recorder in the picture. This way, you can print your own unique award for special occasions and belt colors. You can either use your school printer or have them created by hand, perhaps by your own students. For instance, make a special red and green belt certificate to award for your holiday concert! The possibilities are almost endless. Each certificate is printed in full color on high-quality 8 1/2" x 11" paper. They give you a great motivational tool for your recorder program, and give your students wonderful awards to hang on their walls at home. Think of the pride your young players will feel!

They have filled the pages of the second issue of MUSIC K-8 magazine,m making them highly soughtafter publications. In this collection, we have assembled some of our best-loved songsso from recent years for the next Christmas performance by your choir or congregation. Includes: • O Come All Ye Faithful - Here’s a spirited rendition of a classic Christmas carol. Subscribers love John’s Celtic arrangementsa and we think this one is a great addition to the genre. It features a rockin’ rhythm section, lots of drums,d strings, fiddle, and penny whistle. • On The Road To Bethlehem - Religious Christmas tune or a pretty winter song... You’ve got the option with “On“ The Road To Bethlehem”/“Sing A Song This Winter Night.” With two sets of lyrics (the secular winter lyrics area in italics), we used a “We Three Kings” feel for this 2-part round that’s really easy to learn. • Il Est Né - This is a lovely French Christmas carol that has been a favorite of many for decades. Our arrangementa has a bright, gentle feel to it, featuring an accompaniment of piano, bass, guitar, and strings. We only uused the first phrase from the original carol, “Il est né le Divin Enfant,” which means “He is born, the Divine Child.” A handy pronunciation guide is also included. The rest of the lyrics are in English and are original. • The Holly And The Ivy - Here’s a non-traditional arrangement of a traditional Christmas carol. It starts out ggently with piano, bass, and a synth choir sound. Then it starts to build, adding an optional solo, nylon guitar mmelody, and a low, evolving analog synth. Next comes the string section, sleigh bells, and electric guitar solo, and ffinallyinally tthehe ffullull bbandand wwithith bballadallad rrockock ddrums and singers. It’s beautifully emotional and powerful. • Good Christian Men, Rejoice - This is a familiar tune that really captures the spirit of Christmas. Our arrangement includes unison vocals and a rhythm band ensemble made up of finger cymbals, triangle, hand drum, and jingle bells. The recorded accompaniment features a wonderful brass choir. • Alleluia, Hodie Alleluia - Here is an energetic Christmas selection for your older singers. We’ve set this in a 3-part voicing with part 3 being accessible to your lower, changing, and changed voices. It can also be performed as a unison piece using part 1 only. • Ding Dong! Merrily On High - The song has a great melody, dating back to the 1500s, and it’s downright cheerful to sing. Arranged in a Celtic style, it is laden with big drums, penny whistle, fiddle, strings, a celeste, and a generous blend of jingle bells and sleigh bells.

The choir has been practicing, the drama team has been learning their lines, the musicians have been rehearsing – all in preparation for the big Christmas Pageant. But the littlest voices in the congregation are feeling a bit left out. They aren’t quite sure where they are supposed to fit in. Sometimes, though, no matter how well you’ve planned for something, life can throw you a few curves. As it turns out, the music director is stuck at an airport because of bad weather. The sets and costumes for the Christmas play are back-ordered and won’t arrive in time. And to top it all off, the pastor has come down with laryngitis! What else could possibly go wrong?! It’s up to the congregation’s youngest members to figure out a way to save the day. Along the way, they learn that Christmas is about one thing and one thing only – the birth of Jesus. Watch as The Littlest Angel Choir delivers the message of Christ’s birth in the most humble and innocent of ways. The simple script and short, easy-to-remember songs are specially written for young children to learn and sing. Ideas for settings, costumes, and props are also provided to help enhance your production. Though the program is brief – approximately 15 minutes – the heartfelt message will last a lifetime.

The shepherds, watching their flocks by night, have just been visited by an angel telling them of wonderful news in Bethlehem. “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about,” they say, and off they go to meet the newborn King. But oh no, a group of little lambs had wandered off while this was happening, and when they return, they find that no one is there. Where did everyone go? Why did they leave so suddenly? What will they do?? The little lambs (named Billy, Bobby, Bahbra, Becky, Ben, and... Helen) are alone, lost, and afraid. However, they also sense that something wonderful must be happening. They can feel it. And that big bright star in the East just has to be leading them somewhere. Little Lambs In Bethlehem delivers the message of Christ’s birth in the most humble and innocent of ways. It’s light and simple and even a little silly at times (whenever the lambs say a word that starts with a “B,” they start it with a “Bah”). But the message is pure and very powerful. It will be equally meaningful to your congregation or audience and your performers. Songs include: The Newborn King, A Little Prayer, We Will Find Our Way, O Little Town Of Bethlehem, and Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice!

K-4 WINTER/CHRISTMAS MUSICALSBY TERESA JENNINGS & KARL HITZEMANN THET GREATEST SNOWMAN by Teresa Jennings & Karl Hitzemann Did you know that every 100 years, Santa Claus takes Christmas off? The tricky part of this is, of course,c finding a substitute to take over his Christmas Eve duties, namely delivering gifts to good little childrenc all around the world – in one night. It’s a challenging task, and choosing the right replacement isi equally challenging. Toward this end, Santa accepts applications and resumés from hundreds of candidates thatt he must then sort through. Surely one of them is great enough to win the honor. As our story begins, some of the final candidates are interviewing for the job. Amongst them, we see expectede characters like reindeer and elves, but we also note that there are other animals such as polar bears, tigers,t and even penguins in line. Not to miss an opportunity, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy decide to tryt their luck as well. (Even the New Year’s baby, Cupid, a leprechaun, Uncle Sam, Lady Liberty, a pumpkin, a turkey,t and a pilgrim are rumored to make an optional cameo in the scene.) Santa certainly has a difficult decisiond to make! At the end of the line, we see a little snowman standing alone. A rather shy and quiet character, he seems tot be the subject of some disagreeable comments from the others. They are quite rude and imply that he hasn’t gotg a snowball’s chance of getting the job. He is not daunted by their bullying, and in fact, only sends them lovingl thoughts in return. Santa witnesses the exchange and is touched by the snowman’s big heart and gentle nature.n As you might imagine, Santa is so impressed that he chooses the snowman to take his place on ChristmasC Eve. The Greatest Snowman is sure to be a hit with your audience. It includes these five original songs:s Every Hundred Years, Santa Takes A Break; Pick Me, Me, Me!; Snowman, Why Are You Here?; JollyJ Old Words To Live By; and The Greatest Season.

Lennon and McCartney. Bacharach and David. Webber and Rice. Goffin and King...K The list goes on and on. After all, songwriting collaborations – where one person writes the music and anothera writes the lyrics – have been around for ages. And with some really wonderful results, we might note. BBut then it begs the question: Where would the music be without the lyrics? And where would the lyrics be wwithout the music? Ah! Where indeed? To answer this, we visit the songwriters of Fa La La Land, who are aactively engaged in creating their latest cooperative effort for the upcoming holiday season. Alas, sometimes things might be said or done that would compromise not only progress, but partnerships, aand even friendships as well. Such is the case with the Composers and the Lyricists this particular holiday sseason when, in an innocent exchange, a cavalier comment or two about which aspect of songwriting is more iimportant leads to unpleasant disagreement and discord. Not to mention a total lack of harmony! Thank goodness reason prevails when the Maestro, who is scheduled to conduct Fa La La Land’s latest, but aas-of-yet elusive song, intervenes. She reminds both groups of the overall good of their work together and its iimportance for the season. But more than that, she shares a message of peace, forgiveness, love, and ffriendship – especially at this time of year!

Fortunately, they are able to get one from tthe School of Reindeer at (where else?) the North Pole. They can study all of the important subjects like mmath, science, reading, music, and so on. But they also have to have specialized training in necessary skills like lleaping, reindeer games, and of course, flying. Now you would think that flying comes easily to these youngsters, and the truth is, all magic reindeer do hhave the ability to fly. However, it doesn’t just happen. It has to be learned, or at the very least, chosen, as the yyoung reindeer in our story discover for themselves. Frustrated by their inability to simply take off, they wonder why they can’t just get up and go. As the tale uunfolds, it is revealed that it is the kindness in a reindeer’s heart that renders flight possible. An inspiring mmessage for us all, to be sure. And because the story centers around flying, several of the characters are named aafter famous pilots, including Amelia Earhart, Buzz Aldrin, Orville and Wilbur Wright, and more. This makes ffor a nice segue into a discussion of the history of aviation. Be sure to tell your classroom teachers! Approximately 20-30 minutes long, the musical includes five original songs: The School Of Reindeer, RReindeer Zone, Why Can’t All Reindeer Fly?, And Then You Fly, and We’re Taking Off! As with all of our revues and musicals, there is a thoughtfully designed Teacher’s Guide, with lots of ssuggestions for making a great performance.

HOLIDAY RESOURCES FOR ALL YOUR FAVORITE INSTRUMENTS CHRISTMAS AROUND THE WORLD FOR RHYTHM STICKS AND BUCKET BANDS by John Riggio & Paul Jennings Group percussion playing is a great way for young students to learn to play in an ensemble and read rhythms with precision. For years, rhythm sticks were a good start, but bucket bands provide even more fun and can motivate your classes in a special way. In this collection, John and Paul bring you six exciting new arrangements of Christmas favorites from around the world. You’ll find naturally rhythmic tunes like “Pat-A-Pan” and “Fum Fum Fum,” and one of John’s acclaimed Celtic percussion settings for the always popular “Ukrainian Bell Carol.” Other tunes include “While By My Sheep,” “The Holly And The Ivy,” and “Mary Had A Baby.” While the tracks are exciting and at times intricate, the percussion parts are designed for students and feature enough repetition that they are ideal for young players. And even more important, the percussion parts are written musically, adding another dimension to the performance. By purchasing this collection, you get parts for each group, as well as teaching suggestions. There are also ideas for forming a beginning bucket band, and downloadable scores that combine a lead sheet with all of the percussion parts on a page.

By purchasing this collection, you get parts for each group, as well as teaching suggestions. There are also ideas for forming a beginning bucket band, and downloadable scores that combine a lead sheet with both parts. The recorded tracks are contemporary and fun to play along with.

This holiday spectacular brings together kazoos, Boomwhackers®, and a host of favorite classroom instruments. For this extravaganza, we have taken “The Twelve Days Of Christmas” and adapted the lyrics for each instrument or group of instruments (“...and a partridge in a pear tree” becomes “...and kazoos of red and green”). After each instrument’s mention in the song, there is a short interlude that allows the instrument to play, and it proceeds as the cumulative song we all know and love. As you would expect, it features drums, jingles, rhythm sticks, shakers, triangles, Boomwhackers®, kazoos, and more. To make sure that this works for a wide variety of schools, we offer pages of special instructions for using the instruments, including substitutes, and even options for making your own instruments. The kit also includes a score for the teacher and reproducible parts for singers and instrumentalists. The recorded tracks are really outstanding, featuring a full orchestra playing a clever orchestration by Paul Jennings.

FA LA LA & HO HO HO by Paul Jennings Oh, what fun! Paul Jennings knows how to create instrumental settings that are fun and easy to perform. This delightful concoction continues that tradition, with an arrangement that makes even very young performers shine. The concept is simple: Give a group of instrumentalists and kazoo players snippets from popular Christmas tunes, with each phrase ending in a vocal duel of “fa la la” and “ho ho ho.” Ideally, the “fa la la” will be sung artfully and very pr-r-roper by half of your singers. The answering “ho ho ho” will be more raucous and Santa-like by the other half... (maybe just the boys?). You can see the possibilities for humor and performance delight. Lots Of Options! While this work can be successfully performed with just one class, it is a great way to feature a larger number of children playing Boomwhackers® and/or any mallet instruments, kazoos, and an array of classroom percussion. The recorded tracks make this very special, featuring full orchestra and much more. This terrific kit includes a high-quality Performance/Accompaniment recording. There are a number of options for using alternative percussion instruments, and there are suggestions for staging that will make this a memorable highlight in any winter performance.

WE WISH YOU A RECORDER CHRISTMAS by John Riggio John Riggio has mastered the art of creating contemporary new settings of old favorite Christmas music. In the past, John has had his biggest following for his BAG arrangements in such collections as Dreaming Of A BAG Christmas and Christmas Is In The BAG, but we know that many programs are beyond this level by Christmas. Consequently, this collection has multiple parts, with part 1 using low D, low E, G, A, B, and C, and an optional part 2 that can be played on just G, A, and B. The parts work together, though either one can be used by itself as your concert presentation. Includes: • Pat-A-Pan • Up On The Housetop • It Came Upon A Midnight Clear • Auld Lang Syne • Sing We Now Of Christmas • We Wish You A Merry Christmas WR-116 PERFORMANCE KIT with CD ...... 24.95 Teacher’s Handbook with Reproducible Student Parts & P/A CD WR-117 DOWNLOADABLE KIT (Downloadable PDFs and MP3s)...... 22.95 WR-119 CONVENIENCE COMBO KIT (Print and Downloadable)...... 29.95 A JOYOUS SEASON FOR RECORDERS arr. Paul Jennings Every winter season, many teachers look for a special tune for their big concert. That’s why we have created so many distinctive selections for your recorder programs, including these six works here. Each of these arrangements has two soprano parts, one harder and close to the melody and one easier, either just requiring B, A, G, C or just B, A, G. In addition, all of the tunes have an optional part for alto recorder. From the pages of MUSIC K-8 magazine and RECORDER CLASSROOM, A Joyous Season For Recorders includes: • Joyous Prelude - This symphonic prelude is based on J. S. Bach’s striking “Jesu, Joy Of Man’s Desiring.” • Finlandia – A Hymn To Winter - While this work is complex, it has been nicely adapted for recorder. It’s set for two soprano recorders (one easy, and the other a bit harder) and for an optional alto recorder. • Saga Of The Three Ships - This unique performance piece can be played by even young, beginning players. The arrangement itself is a study in contrasts. • Quest Of The Three Kings - Sounding like the soundtrack from a forgotten Cecil B. DeMille epic, we are just setting the mood for one of our favorite carols, “We Three Kings Of Orient Are.” • Fantasy On An Old French Carol - This arrangement of “Il Est Né Le Divin Enfant” can accommodate your beginning students, more advanced players, and/or alto recorders in any combination. • Ode To Joy - Our carefully crafted arrangement lets your more advanced students play the melody using G, A, B, C, low D, and high D, while your younger players are only required to play B, A, and G. There is also an optional alto recorder part.

Artie Almeida takes you behind the scenes in her classroom! Artie Almeida’s FUN FOUNDATIONS FOR RECORDER - Volume 1 Music arranged by Paul Jennings Teachers who have spent time in Artie Almeida’s many workshops know what a creative, natural teacher she is, and that she is wonderful at transferring her teaching ideas into words in the resources she has published. That’s why we were so pleased to feature her in each issue of RECORDER CLASSROOM magazine with a series of richly developed columns about how she integrated recorders into the fabric of her fabulous program at Bear Lake. In this kit, we combine these great resources for teachers everywhere. As a matter of fact, there is so much content here that we have broken it into two jam-packed volumes. The Teacher’s Handbook is the heart of the kit, and its many sections take you step-by-step through Artie’s program as it has evolved in the more than 20 years she has been developing it. Beyond basic technique there are sections on air production and management, instrument selection and care, repertoire, and so much more. More than text... In addition to the narrative, this kit features other specific resources, including games and activities for teaching and retention, as well as online masters to let you print and produce cards, forms, and other resources needed for the activities. And there is music! Artie has created teaching songs, warm-ups, and exercises, each arranged by Paul Jennings. You will find these on the recordings that are included with the kit.

A wider range of notes is covered, as well as suggestions for starting and running recorder ensembles. In Volume 2, there are 15 new songs and exercises, all with nice supporting tracks, as well as two bonus performance songs chosen from the wide Plank Road Publishing library of recorder music. Techniques are covered in Artie’s down-to-earth, practical style and include such things as fingering notes below G, managing students of different abilities in one class, and building finger dexterity, just to name a few.

Recorder Dude by Norm Sands Sometimes holding your own recorder in front of your students to demonstrate a fingering just doesn’t cut it – especially if you are working in a large classroom, on stage, or with a big group. Likewise, using a larger recorder (such as a tenor) doesn’t help much either because, while the recorder is larger, your fingers are still the same size. Enter Recorder Dude! Originally developed by Norm Sands for RECORDER CLASSROOM magazine, Recorder Dude stands 31 inches tall – perfect for demonstrating fingerings to your students. Once you assemble this handy visual aide, you will use it for years. This kit includes the foam (preprinted and ready to cut out), Velcro® dots, and complete, easy-to-follow instructions to make your very own Recorder Dude.

CLASSROOM RESOURCES ANIMATED MUSICAL CONCEPTS by Teresa Jennings and Karl Hitzemann You’ll really appreciate all that you get in this collection of musical concept songs that makes it easier to teach the elements of music, especially with the added bonus of an animated video DVD! We’ve even included videos for three songs that were in our first collection, Sing A Song Of Musical Concepts (available below and at MusicK8.com), which are “Forte Piano,” “Every Good Boy Does Fine,” and “Presto Largo.” This invaluable collection includes: • Quarter Note - Here’s a chance to focus on the oh-so-important quarter note. • Ode To The Treble Clef - Your kids will love this ’50s rock ballad about the treble clef. • Major Minor - Perfectly illustrating the difference between a major key and a minor key, this song keeps it simple by using C major and C minor. • Give It A Rest - This light and bouncy tune helps students learn about the quarter rest. • The Cool Bass Clef - Featuring a Fender six-string “bass” guitar, the lyrics tell us that the bass clef is an old-fashioned “F.” They also state the names for the line and space notes. • High Low - This super simple ditty has one purpose: to teach your students to discern between high notes and low ones. While this may seem obvious to most of us, not every kid grasps the concept equally. We have actually had a number of requests to “say it with music.” • FACE - Here’s a short, simple, super easy song you can use to teach your students the names of the spaces of the treble clef. The use of the pertinent notes makes a beautiful F major 7 chord, which was just crying out for some ’50s-style doo-wop guys singing background licks. Lots of fun! • Whacky Do Re Mi - We feel certain that your students will enjoy this updated solfege tutorial best known as “Do Re Mi.” The lyrics are light and a little bit silly, hence easy to remember. It’s great, of course for Boomwhackers®, but since the song is in the key of C, it will work for any C instrument.

SINGS A SONG OF MUSICAL CONCEPTS by Teresa Jennings and John Riggio Over the last few years, we have done a number of songs in MUSIC K-8 magazine that make it easier to teachte the elements of music. The reaction from teachers has been so positive that we wanted to assemble theth first group of these clever songs together for schools everywhere. It includes: • Forte Piano - Set in a classical style, this song has the kids literally singing the concept, with the lyrics andan dynamics telling the story. • Legato Staccato - What better way to contrast these two concepts than one of Teresa’s cool, ffun-to-singu partner songs. Lots of fun! • 4/4 Meter - Take a simple 3-part partner song, set it in the campy style of the Beatles’ “When I’m 64,” aandn you’ll know all about 4/4 time. • Presto Largo - “Speed metal polka” best describes the presto sections of the piece. Contrast that with a RRachmaninoff-inspired largo. • Every Good Boy Does Fine - This lively pop tune lets your students make up other E, G, B, D, F pphrases... or use some of the many we supply. The kids love it! (And learn.) • Crescendo - The last two songs in the collection, while different, are well used as a set. They also rrequiree the most subtlety to perform, but the effort is worth it. • Decrescendo - Set in a dramatic minor key and in the style of an Italian opera, this effective tune is ttheh perfect answer to Crescendo. Once you have learned both songs, sing them back to back and try to get mmore contrast every time. It’s a challenge that will teach the concepts while it builds more mmusical singers!

By popular demand, Anne and Teresa have created a fundamental set of warm-ups designed with these challenges in mind. In the recording studio, where time is at a premium, Teresa and Anne have a unique ability to get children singing energetically and musically no matter what the style of the work. The first few minutes of each session are the key to their success, as they carefully warm up the singers and establish the mood. In this wonderful set of exercises, they share some of their secrets in a format that is practical, methodical, and pedagogically sound. And as you might expect, they have also included a couple of specially arranged “just for fun” exercises guaranteed to loosen up your singers and help you relax them in the classroom or before a performance. The Teacher’s Handbook includes all of the warm-ups written out and discussed, along with other helpful warm-up tips from the authors. The special Performance/Accompaniment CD includes a full demonstration of each warm-up, as well as just the accompaniment to free you from the piano or to help you in situations where you don’t have easy access to a piano or other instruments.

SONG COLLECTIONSFROM PLANK ROAD PUBLISHING UPSTANDING CITIZENS by Teresa Jennings, Mike Wilson, Karl Hitzemann, and Paul Jennings We see time and again how great music can be at teaching us the important lessons of life. And there is perhaps no more important thing for a young learner than to discover how to be a good person. This collection includes: • An Upstanding Citizen - This upbeat swing tune has several things going for it. It’s a partner song, it has a world-class big band recorded accompaniment, it’s incredibly fun to sing, and it has a positive message about character. • My Personal Code - The beginning of this song leads us to believe that it will be a gentle ballad, but after the solo, the piece changes abruptly with a large crescendo and becomes a rock tune. • Take My Lumps - Here’s a character song about consequences. • Responsible - The contemporary percussive rock beat in this song is really contagious! • I’d Rather Be Happy - The tune is set in a pop/rock style that has a bit of a retro flavor. • Intentional Life - Set in a country rock style, this character song is about making your life count for something more than your own self-gratification. • This World And Me - Do you remember what it was like growing up? It certainly wasn’t always easy. You may have thought, “Where do I fit in? “How do I make some of these difficult decisions?” • Rules For Living - This jazz style song has a phenomenal arrangement by Paul Jennings.

Whether you have a young group of singers or a variety of ages, these songs are full of impact and inspiration. This much-requested collection includes: • Eleven Eleven March - This stately march is perfect for your school’s Veterans Day program or assembly. It has a patriotic and inspiring sound, and it has easy lyrics so any student can sing along. • Thank A Vet - Orchestrated in a somber, respectful march style, this melody is slow and simple, and easily accessible to all age groups. • Those Who Served - For Memorial Day celebrations, this song honors the brave men and women who have given the ultimate sacrifice for their country. • For The Good Of The Many - This piece is meant to honor our veterans, particularly on Veterans Day. The stately yet reverent setting of the song offers an appropriately serious tone for your performance. • In Service Of Our Country - This song is flexible and provides you with a musical salute to either veterans or troops in active service, or both. • Proud Of Our Veterans - The song is both poignant and anthem-like. While the song is written in two parts, the second part is optional, but it is a natural harmony and not too difficult to learn. • We Will Not Forget - This is a simple tribute to those who have put themselves in harm’s way.

These songs are good for teaching precision, enunciation, articulation, and, as they are true partner songs, they help develop the independence that part-singing requires. • Partner Warm-Up #1 - Here is a great aid for staying on pitch. • Partner Warm-Up #2 - Aside from practicing staccato singing, this warm-up helps with the proper use of the diaphragm, or stomach muscles, when singing. • Partner Warm-Up #3 - Emphasize enunciation, sliding pitches, and diphthongs with this silly warm-up. • Partner Warm-Up #4 - Get your singers’ mouth muscles warmed up and moving while they work with enunciation. Part 2 also puts a bit of emphasis on intervals and could be sung in a head voice. • Partner Warm-Up #5 - This warm-up focuses on breath support mostly. • Partner Warm-Up #6 - Exercise the tongue and mouth using the scat syllables “dee” and “deet.” • Partner Warm-Up #7 - The lively 6/8 style is amplified by the fact that the lyrics are lighthearted.

This wonderful collection includes: • Friends Are Like Diamonds - Sweet and gentle, this lovely round speaks to the joys of friendship, one of the most important things in any child’s life. • Rockin’ Frère Jacques - John’s upbeat rock setting of this favorite features lyrics in English and French, and an optional harmony section at the end. • Canoe Round - This elegant little round began life as a scout campfire song early in the 1900s, originally written by Margaret Embers McGee. • The Further Adventures Of Three Blind Mice - Often thought of as a song for younger singers, this song is also fun for older students with the alternative lyrics used for the second half of the song. And for extra fun, we have also included the crazy Sightless Rodent Chaser. • Shalom Chaverim - Karl has created a soulful arrangement that presents this round in Hebrew and English. • Classical Wave - How many rounds come with movements? Well this clever one does, and as it evolves the singers end up doing the “wave” as they sing. • This Day Of Peace - Teresa originally created this beautiful tune for International Peace Day (September 21) but it works well any time of the year.

AMERICAN ESSENTIALS by Teresa and Paul Jennings, and John Riggio Throughout the history of MUSIC K-8 magazine, we have taken pride in bringing schools well-crafted patriotic music for every occasion a school might need it. This collection brings you nine of our finest works. It includes: • The Star-Spangled Banner - A singable arrangement (in A-flat) with a powerful orchestral track. • Allegiance Rap - The recording for this rap/call-and-response song is truly inspirational. • America (My Country ’Tis Of Thee) - The song that we now know as “America” is one of the most popular patriotic songs in the United States, and it can tell us a lot about music in our country’s first century. • Declaration - With lyrics taken from the Declaration of Independence, this song helps your students easily learn and remember the famous words that helped build our nation. • Yankee Doodle - This very traditional-sounding arrangement includes an optional narration to introduce the piece. Verses are all unison, but the chorus breaks into an optional divisi each time. • Taps Prologue/Taps - “Taps” is probably the most recognized military bugle call in America. The optional “Prologue” is very simple. The “Prologue” then segues right into “Taps.” • We The People - This piece will help your students learn the words of the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution. • Battle Hymn For Gettysburg - This performance piece combines the text of Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address with “Battle Hymn Of The Republic.” It’s very dramatic. • America The Beautiful - Our magnificent arrangement is truly inspirational and patriotic.
