It is no exaggeration to say that this is one of the most enjoyable, upbeat songs we have heard in years. This song is not plot specific, so it is a great opener (or closer) for any celebration or holiday performance.

Simple and poignant, this touching song starts with a gentle solo (optional) and builds to a richly orchestrated anthem chorus that is guaranteed to move any audience. This song is ideal for any performance in which you want to spotlight things like saving a part of your school's music program or wishing for world peace.

Set in an infectious gospel style, this moving selection proved to be very popular with schools. The verse is meant to be sung by soloists, up to four of them, with the full ensemble joining in for the chorus.

John's lovely arrangement of this well-loved English carol is set in a Celtic style, with a rollicking feel reminiscent of its French dancing song roots. He's added jingle bells (it is a Christmas carol, after all), and over everything, a fiddle and penny whistle play a spirited motif.

This song is a great way for you and your students to explore their roots and to connect with members of the community who come from different cultures and backgrounds.

Students will leap at the chance to sing this very humorous, tongue-in-cheek encouragement for kids to get away from the TV and go outside for exercise.

The idea for this tune was simple and a lot of fun: Take the joyous and well-known "Ode To Joy" and use the names of lots of famous composers as the lyrics.

With gentle music and poetic lyrics that speak of sacrifice, valor, bravery, and of course, remembrance, this song could be used for Memorial Day, Veterans Day, Patriot Day, or any occasion honoring American heroes who are no longer with us.

It's nice to stop and remember that despite our differences, we truly are all Americans. This very energetic and inspirational song helps us not only focus on, but also celebrate our common bonds.
