ANTLERS A Fashionable Musical For Young Voicesby Teresa Jennings & Karl Hitzemann

Everyone knows that all magic reindeer just want to fly,right? Or do they? This imaginative little musical dares toconsider that maybe, just maybe, a reindeer’s career outcomedoesn’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 thattheir true passions call less for flying, and more for drawing,sewing, and crafting. In other words, they want to be fashiondesigners. And not just any fashion designers – ANTLERfashion designers!

With a little help from their North Pole friends, notablysome elves and other reindeer, they decide to showcase some oftheir fabulous couture on the runway. Unbeknownst to them,Santa and Mrs. Claus just happen to catch some of the showand are very impressed. So much so that they invite thedesigners 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, thisdelightful musical offers opportunities for creativity,imagination, and artistic expression. With five simple andmemorable songs (and some action music), young performerswill delight in the chance to not only create their own stylishantler 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 AroundThe Corner, Stylish, Design Your Dreams, On The Runway,and Ready For Christmas.

As with all of our revues and musicals, there is athoughtfully designed Teacher’s Guide, with lots of suggestionsfor making a great performance. Also included are reproducibleSinger’s Parts, lyric sheets, posters, and program covers.

ANTLERS is available in four ways: printed Teacher’sHandbook with CD, printed Teacher’s Handbook withdownloadable MP3s, downloadable PDFs and MP3s, and, forthe best of both worlds, our CONVENIENCE COMBO KIT, which includes both print/CD and downloadable files.

SONGS FOR AUTUMN A Creative Collection For Young Voicesby Teresa Jennings, John Riggio & Paul Jennings

Autumn is probably our favorite time of year, and over the years we have written sometasty tunes to sing along with this super season. In this unique collection you will find thefollowing great songs:

• An Autumn-ish Feelin’ - This super happy song is upbeat and enthusiastic, and a lot offun to sing, especially if you happen to be an autumn aficionado. Done in a pop/rock style, withan optional second part, use this song in your classroom for the joy of it or in a performancesetting, 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 andfunny. The real humor comes from the contrast between the oblivious singers and thecommentator. They are blithely adoring the colors of the fall, no matter how frustrated thespeaker 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. Thehappy, upbeat rhythm and melody are easy to read and learn and help reinforce your study ofsyncopation. 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 autumnperformances. It’s an easy-goin’ swing tune with a big band/string accompaniment. Despite thecomplexity 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 backto one of the simple pleasures of yesteryear – caramel apples! This being a soft-shoe piece, itswings. Besides being totally delightful and happy to sing, this song also has an optional sectionwhere your singers get to whistle.

• There Is No Time Like The Autumn - If you liked our winter partner song “A PerfectWinter Day” you will enjoy our autumnal partners in this country/folk style setting. The firstpart is introduced by itself the first time through, with the second part stating its case on therepeat. 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 thelandscape is ripe with vibrant colors. The song has some syncopation, but after listening to the recording, we feel certain your singers will pick it upeasily. 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, teachingfacts 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.

THE YOUNG & THE MERRYA Collection Of Seasonal Songs For Little Singersby Teresa & Paul Jennings and Mike Wilson

Our writers love creating songs for that festive season of the year, and they especially havefun writing music for your younger singers. We have filled this new collection with an array ofsome of their best tunes in recent years.

• Let’s Build A Gingerbread House - Your young singers will love this little tune. It has abouncy swing style and sweet, simple lyrics. Performing in front of an audience will certainly beenough to yield the “awwww” factor. But if you really want to get to them, consider adding a bitof movement with some adorable dance moves.

• Baby Christmas Tree - This adaptation of the familiar Christmas carol, “O ChristmasTree,” is anything but traditional, though at first, you may think so. It starts with a lushorchestral introduction, but then quickly evolves (devolves?) into a combination rock/noveltypiece, 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 lookingfor. It poses the question which every kid has surely wondered at one time or another. Ofcourse, 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 foryour primary group. With an accompaniment recording of all acoustic instruments includingguitar, 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 littletune about providing the appropriate attire for a snowman.

• Winter Wiggles - In the classroom or in a performance, here’s an opportunity for yourkids to release all that pent up energy from being stuck inside during the cold winter months.The lyrics are deliberately basic and easy to learn so that they don’t upstage the important stuff:the wiggling! We give suggestions for movement, including the wiggles.

• Peppermint Candy Cane - This bouncy tune praises that delectable sweet treat in such away that even your youngest singers will be able to join in. It’s repetitious, with simple lyrics

that are easy to remember. Add movement to your performance 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. YM-116 PERFORMANCE KIT with CD...................................................................................................................................................................... 39.95

Wonderful Songs For A Wonderful Season!


Over the last few years, bucket bands have grown greatly inpopularity. Percussion is an ideal way to teach rhythmic conceptsand this low-cost percussion ensemble is a great way to feel thejoy of group performance without breaking your budget.

This unique new product by John Riggio and Paul Jenningsis designed for players just beyond beginners, though some orall players can easily adapt the included parts. Unlike somebucket band music, this is written with just one bucket part,intended to be performed on a small to medium-size bucket. Ifyour ensemble has large/bass buckets, they can either play thewritten part or devise a more bass-like part to add.

Every selection features rhythm sticks, though the tracks aredesigned to work with just buckets, or any combination of theparts provided. These change from tune to tune and includeBoomwhackers®, ukulele, cowbell, shaker, guiro, and more.

There are two basic types of tunes here, games and game-like tunes, and grooves. The games each stand on theirown, and the grooves are short, repetitive, and fun to play,with many repeats. Some songs have multiple tempos to easelearning. And, as you may have learned with other music fromPlank Road Publishing and MUSIC K-8, we encourage andpermit 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

These tracks were produced by John Riggio, who brings you many of Plank Road’s most popular works. Listen to extensive sound excerpts of this terrific resource on our web site. MusicK8.com

ANCIENT CAROL FANTASY (O Come, O Come, Emmanuel)For Bucket Bands, Rhythm Sticks, and Other Festive Instrumentsby Paul Jennings

This ethereal truly ancient carol – “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel” – is not a song that isusually picked out for bucket band or other classroom instruments, but as we worked with rhythmpatterns, we found that there were some great combinations to be found.

Our ensemble, as written, includes a single bucket band part, rhythm sticks, sand blocks (orthe Noodle Blocks in our new Noodle Kits™ – see page 4 for details), rainstick, Boomwhackers®,and small triangle (or the nice sounding Chime Plate from our Noodle Kits™). Virtually all partsare 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.To learn more about them, view the demo video at our web site where you can hear and see eachinstrument played.

Ask your players to play with seriousness, as this is a work that should be taken earnestly. Yes, it has an exuberant feel, but it should be played musically making effects more dramatic.CF-116 PERFORMANCE KIT with CD.................................................................................. 19.95CF-117 Downloadable Bucket Band Single ....................................................................... 17.95CF-119 CONVENIENCE COMBO KIT (both Print and Download versions)...................................... 21.95

New And Classic Works In A High Quality Octavo Format

WEEVILY WHEAT adapted/arr. Mike WilsonThis 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)..................................................................................................................... 1.95CH-0066D Weevily Wheat - MasterTracks P/A CD............................................................................................................................ 19.95CH-0066E Weevily Wheat - Downloadable MasterTracks .................................................................................................................. 17.95

CAROLINA IN THE MORNING Walter Donaldson & Gus Kahn/arr. Mike WilsonFirst 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 greatopportunity to discuss or revisit the difference between a straight and swing feel. The road map is pretty straight ahead. You basicallysing 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) ..................................................................................... 1.95CH-0070D Carolina In The Morning - MasterTracks P/A CD ........................................................................................................ 19.95CH-0070E Carolina In The Morning - Downloadable MasterTracks............................................................................................... 17.95

I FEEL LIKE FA LA LA LA* by Teresa JenningsThis 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 inand 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) ....................................................................... 1.95CH-0068D I Feel Like Fa La La La - MasterTracks P/A CD............................................................................................................... 19.95CH-0068E I Feel Like Fa La La La - 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)................................................................................................................. 1.95CH-0067D No Greater Love - MasterTracks P/A CD ......................................................................................................................... 19.95CH-0067E No Greater Love - 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 astring and horn flourish in the introduction, verse one settles into gentle unison vocals accompanied by a flowing, arpeggiatedpiano. 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) ........................................................................................................... 1.95CH-0069D Song Of Mary - MasterTracks P/A CD............................................................................................................................... 19.95CH-0069E Song Of Mary - Downloadable MasterTracks..................................................................................................................... 17.95

EVERY SEASON by Karl HitzemannThis 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 keyswith times of tension and resolution. There are three vocal parts, but as usual, parts 2 and 3 are optional. The recordedaccompaniment is very stirring and includes piano, flugelhorn, wind chimes, strings, and a melancholy countermelody played on atrumpet 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)............................................................................................................ 1.95CH-0071D Every Season - MasterTracks P/A CD ................................................................................................................................ 19.95CH-0071E Every Season - Downloadable MasterTracks ..................................................................................................................... 17.95

SCOTTISH BLESSINGS by Mike WilsonThis 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 crewincrease” is a blessing for prosperity and a large family. This 3-part mixed song was written for any middle age to older choir. Itcan 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) .......................................................................................... 1.95CH-0072D Scottish Blessings - MasterTracks P/A CD ........................................................................................................... 19.95CH-0072E Scottish Blessings - Downloadable MasterTracks ............................................................................................................... 17.95

MOLLY MALONE* arr. Karl O’HitzemannThe 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.

RECORDERS MERRY AND OLDE A Seasonal Collection For Young Playersby Paul Jennings

We take pride in providing unique performance experiences for young players, makingthem sound very impressive with recordings that surround them with clever arrangementsplayed by top professionals. This is especially true of our seasonal settings. In many cases,including those in this collection, we arranged the song with multiple recorder parts, usuallytwo soprano parts, harder and easier, and an optional alto recorder part. These arrangementscan be played successfully with any or all of the parts. And the variety of styles make theseideal to be performed in a program together. Recorders Merry And Olde includes:

• Echo Carol - This old carol is arranged for two soprano recorders and one optional altorecorder, but it can be played by just your beginning recorder students. The orchestralarrangement is full of dynamic contrasts. Notes used: Recorder 1: G, A, B, C; Recorder 2: G,G#, A, B, C, D, E; Alto: B, C, D, E.

• Variations On An Ancient Christmas Round - This great old round (“God Bless All”)has been around for centuries with different names and in varying forms, but this basic melodyhas been a favorite. Our setting features a full-orchestra accompaniment on the recording andincludes parts for two soprano recorders and an optional alto recorder. Notes used: Recorder 1:D, G, A, B, C, D'; Recorder 2: D, G, A, B, C, D'; Alto: G, B, C, D, G'.

• Simple Gifts - Full of contrasts, our arrangement of this American Shaker dance songfeatures soprano recorder 1 (D,F#,G,A,B,C,D'), an optional easier soprano 2 (D,G,A,B), andan alto recorder part suitable for a young player (G,A,C,D,E,G').

• A Medieval Christmas - This is a fairly short medley of late medieval works comprisedof the songs “Personent Hodie” and “Green Grow’th The Holly.” It features three recorderparts. Soprano 1 calls for the notes C, D, E, G, A, B, C', D', and E', while soprano 2 can beplayed with just G, A, B, and C. The alto part is also written appropriately for a young player.

• On Christmas Night - Sometimes known as “Sussex Carol,” this joyful old tune has aspectacular arrangement from Paul Jennings. It is for two soprano recorders and an optionalalto recorder, set against a rich orchestration of full orchestra. Notes used: Recorder 1:

SING WHEN THE HOLIDAYS COME A Joyous Collection For Young Voicesby Teresa Jennings, Mike Wilson & Paul Jennings

Our creative writers have a unique talent for capturing the many joys and other emotionsthat surround our seasonal celebrations. And they do it with spirit, memorable music, and humor.These 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 toperform! The lyrics give you the flexibility to use it for Christmas, holidays, or seasonalperformances, 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?These and other burning questions are asked and answered in this extremely fun, hard-swingingsong. A video of movement ideas is also included.

• When The Holidays Come - This Celtic style song has a simplicity that is bothcomfortable, yet lively at the same time. Part of that comes from the use of basic rhythmic clapsand stomps which accompany the singing.

• Christmas Night - The message is simple. Amidst all the commercialization of theChristmas 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 chestnutwith a bit of whimsy.

• Fiesta De Navidad - Heralding back to the ’60s, this upbeat, clap-along song abouthaving a Christmas party takes its cue from the likes of the Beatles, The Hollies, and others. Theverses 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 themetaphor for connection to each other, making it a great piece for a holiday performance or anytime 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 inessence, yet without specific reference to Christmas. A regal horn section invites your attention with herald trumpets and a full complement of brass, winds, strings, and percussion.

VETERANS, WE LOVE YOUby Teresa Jennings

This is a lively patriotic rock march, full ofdrums and brass, and is perfect for pageantry ifyou’re so inclined. Though this song is simpleenough to be used by young singers in unison, itworks very nicely for your older students as well,thanks to the optional solos and second part. (from MUSIC K-8 Vol 31 No 2) XS-1187 Downloadable Kit........................................................ 14.95

UP ON THE ROOF by Teresa JenningsWhatever could that sound on the roof be? Okay,

maybe the “ho ho ho” gives it away a little. The fun ofthis song is its mysterious air, made more compelling byits funky groove. An optional divisi at the chorus thatsplits into and out of octaves gives it a cool factor. Thissong is also a great chance to feature some of yourstudents playing Boomwhackers® and non-pitchedpercussion (jingle bells, cowbells, and hand drums).These are all optional, of course.

I REALLY NEED CHRISTMASTHIS YEAR by Teresa Jennings

The traditions, the comforts, and that overallfeeling that surrounds and soothes us at Christmastime helped to inspire this country pop-flavoredtune. Presented as a 2-part piece for your youngsingers, it also works well as a feature for a soloist(background singers, optional). Add it to your

repertoire of holiday music, whether you’re singing at school, from a distance, or anywhere in between. Merry Christmas!XS-1052 Downloadable Kit.................................................................... 14.95

MAY THERE BE GOODWILL by Teresa JenningsThe holiday season is traditionally a time for us

to reflect on peace, kindness, brotherhood, and ofcourse, goodwill. This beautiful, thought-provokingsong hopes to inspire those who sing it and thosewho listen to it. Easily performed as a unison tune,there is a second part that enters just before thechorus. This is optional, but adds a nice touch if you can do it.

WHAT CHILD IS THIS? adapted/arr. John RiggioJohn has done another Christmas arrangement in a Celtic style, and we’re

thrilled! It’s the original song with traditional lyrics as you know it, but with afew tweaks including a new bridge section. It features a beautiful, hauntingmotif in the accompaniment recording played on fiddle and penny whistle,harps, bodhrán, layered jingle bells, and many drums. There is also a nylon guitar playing the melody. (from MUSIC K-8 Vol 31 No 2) XS-1177 Downloadable Kit..................................................................... 14.95

SPARKLY by Teresa JenningsIn our estimation, one of the best things about the holidays

is the abundance of lights. Lots and lots of sparkly, twinkly,merry lights. This sweet little ditty gives your kids a chance tonot only sing about all things sparkly, but also to play aboutthem! A simple optional ukulele part readily adds to thebouncy fun and uses only the chords C, F, and G. But to reallymake it, well, sparkle, we have included optional bells as well,which are doubled with a bell-like synth on the recording

in case you choose not to use them. (from MUSIC K-8 Vol 31 No 2) XS-1180 Downloadable Kit...................................................................... 14.95

SNOW SNOW SNOWby Teresa Jennings

We think your singers are really going toenjoy this one! Not only does it give students achance to show off their (optional) part-singing abilities, but it’s also just a lot offun in a campy, lighthearted sort of way. Set ina style that is a marriage of swings, so to speak,it is reminiscent of jazz, but with acontemporary halftime bed, complete with snaps and an almost-Latinbass/tom line helping it groove along. (from MUSIC K-8 Vol 31 No 2) XS-1174 Downloadable Kit.................................................................. 14.95

IT’S GONNA BE ALRIGHT by Mike WilsonIn a time of a growing sense of worry and panic about the future,

Mike was inspired to write this little song of hope that he thoughtmight help. This simple, short, unison song is targeted toward ayounger group, but the message is universal. You can even hear Mike’sown grandchildren performing on our full performance demorecording for the song! (from MUSIC K-8 Vol 31 No 1)XS-1183 Downloadable Kit ........................................................ 14.95

TRANSCONTINENTAL RAILROADby Teresa Jennings

As educational as it may be, this tune is a blast to perform!Characterized as “Stately Patriotic Western Folk,” there are a numberof neat sounds and textures that evoke the era, including iron spikesand old train sounds, not to mention the full orchestra with rockdrums and beefy brass motifs. The verses are in unison and have adecidedly old-fashioned folk style which gives the song a storytellingvibe. At the chorus, it breaks into two parts, though the second partis optional. Telling the story of the Transcontinental Railroad, it’s a great cross curricular tool! (from MUSIC K-8 Vol 29 No 5)XS-0920 Downloadable Kit .......................................................... 14.95

HERE WE GO A-SHOLEVING adapted/arr. Teresa & Paul Jennings

This tongue-in-cheek adaptation of “Here We Come A-Caroling” was inspired by the rhythmic dance of shovel on

driveway/plop of snow (over and over and over).Starting with a lovely chorale style introduction, itsoon devolves into a pulsing grind, complete withscrapes and plops, punctuated with an anvil clank.The song is entirely unison, and since it’s based on afamiliar carol, it should be pretty easy to learn.

(from MUSIC K-8 Vol 31 No 2) XS-1178 Downloadable Kit..................................................................... 14.95

ODE TO JOYadapted/arr. Paul Jennings

To honor Beethoven’s 250th birthday, wearranged the “Ode To Joy” from the finale of hisrenowned 9th Symphony. For our version, we haveadapted the fairly well-known English lyrics byHenry van Dyke. We have also made it primarily avocal work, with an optional second part, but alsoforeshortening the ending a bit. It should make apowerful finale to any performance year round.(from MUSIC K-8 Vol 31 No 2) XS-1181 Downloadable Kit ........................................................ 14.95

WE WILL REMEMBER by Karl HitzemannMany people observe the tradition of Remembrance Day on the 11th

hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of November,pausing in a moment of silence to honor and rememberthe men and women who have served, and continue toserve during times of war, conflict, and peace. Therecorded accompaniment for this piece is very solemnand reflective and features piano, guitar, bass, snaredrums, and a trio of violin, a cello, and a flugelhorn.The song has an optional second vocal part that addssome wonderful harmonies, but if you’d prefer to keep itunison, the second vocal part is covered by a solo violin.(from MUSIC K-8 Vol 31 No 2) XS-1182 Downloadable Kit ......................................... 14.95

WE SHALL OVERCOME arr. Paul JenningsIncludes a sign language video!

For our arrangement of this great song, weprovide a four verse, 2-part setting that also worksin unison, and is appropriate as an audience sing-along, as well. It is backed by our great rhythmsection and orchestra. Help students further engagewith the music using the included sign language videotutorial.

POOR ME! by Georges Bizet/adapted/arr. Karl Hitzemann

This amusing song has the classic “poor me!” or “why me?”attitude anytime a chore or task is needed to be performed.This song is sure to get a lot of laughs and many parentsnodding their heads in understanding and agreement. The greatthing about this piece is that you can have a lot of fun and silliness singingit, but the accompaniment track itself is a very legitimate rendition of themelody to “Habanera” from Bizet’s classic opera Carmen.

A TURKEY TALE by Teresa Jennings

What fun for your young singers – a story songabout a clumsy turkey who tripped on his own tail,

among other, um... adventures. Hence the title. (Getit?) Since turkeys and Thanksgiving seem to beconnected, using this silly ditty for that occasionwould certainly work, though you can use it anyway you like. (from MUSIC K-8 Vol 31 No 2)

AT THE ZOMBIE FOOD TRUCK by Teresa Jennings

It seems that the popularity of zombieculture just won’t die (groan), so we’recompelled to do our part to contribute,um... artistically? You will hear plenty ofcliché spooky elements in this over-the-top song: pipe organ, wailingtheremin, eerie strings, haunting piano, minor key, a possibly familiarunderlying motif during the verse. And to keep it accessible, we’vemade it all unison, except for the spoken parts. It’s everything a hungry zombie could want.

FINNEGAN’S FOLLY by John RiggioHere’s a fun body percussion tune for your class. And in

Celtic style, no less! Perfect for your St. Patrick’s Daycelebration, or any time, it uses five methods ofpercussion for your students: patsching, clapping,stomping, snapping, and drumming on desks. The audiotracks use fiddle and bodhrán for that Celtic flavor, then

add strings on the repeat. The only vocal line in the song iswhen performers yell, “Hey!” on the very last note, but if you’d preferno vocals at all this can be omitted. (from MUSIC K-8 Vol 31 No 4)XS-1186 Downloadable Kit ............................................................. 14.95

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 Karatemethod, we commissioned the amazingartist, Jennifer Vulpas, to create a unique manga/animé-style character for each certificate. There is a certificate for each of thenine levels and nine colors of belts, as well as one special certificate with a blank heading and no color for the recorder in thepicture. This way, you can print your own unique award for special occasions and belt colors. You can either use your schoolprinter or have them created by hand, perhaps by your own students.

REJOICE! IT’S CHRISTMAS by John Riggio, Mike Wilson, and Karl HitzemannThrough the years, our great team of composers and arrangers has produced striking, memorable Christmas

music including unique arrangements of favorite carols. They have filled the pages of the second issue of MUSIC K-8magazine, making them highly soughtafter publications. In this collection, we have assembled some of our best-lovedsongs 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 Celticarrangements and we think this one is a great addition to the genre. It features a rockin’ rhythm section, lots ofdrums, 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 lyricsare 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. Ourarrangement has a bright, gentle feel to it, featuring an accompaniment of piano, bass, guitar, and strings. We onlyused 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 outgently with piano, bass, and a synth choir sound. Then it starts to build, adding an optional solo, nylon guitarmelody, and a low, evolving analog synth. Next comes the string section, sleigh bells, and electric guitar solo, and

finally the full band with ballad rock drums 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.

SING WITH US THE CHRISTMAS STORY Musical Arrangements by Teresa & Paul Jennings

The concept is simple, and the performance results will be dramatic and moving forperformers and audiences alike. Take eight of the most beloved carols, and arrangethem in simple vocal arrangements, the way you expect them to be (with optionalsecond parts).

For background, add richlyorchestrated recordings performed by top professionals. As a final joyous option, wehave made all of these arrangements appropriate for audience sing-along, with introsthat naturally lead them into the song without rehearsal. And we’ve includedreproducible sing-along sheets for the audience in addition to the reproducible singer’sparts.If you doubt the power of this program, be sure to listen to the sound excerpts onour web site.

’TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMASby Teresa Jennings

For almost two centuries, thememorable poem by Clement ClarkeMoore has been passed from generationto generation helping shape our mentalimages of Christmas. We wanted to wrapit up musically for today’s children, andwho is better to do that than Teresa Jennings?

If you listen online to the recordedexcerpts, the melodies are memorable buteasy to learn and sing, and the song isbroken into several sections. Theopening is traditional and it moves

naturally into one of several “hip hop” sections that your kids will love(and your boys will have a great time performing as ours did in the studio).At the center of the work is a short ethereal section appropriate to text,and a big finale.

The Mice - In the recording, you hear a “Greek chorus” of sorts...made up of mice! They comment on the action and just generally have agreat time of it. These parts can be performed by a couple of kids or a smallgroup within your group, or perhaps some of your younger kids canpantomime along with the recorded tracks. Also, during the hip hopsections, there is a group of “Manly Mice” who accent key words withgreat enthusiasm. Here’s where some of your more theatrical (dare we say,“hammy”) boys will shine.

The Recording: Lots of Options - On the P/A CD (and on thedownloadable tracks) you will find four different versions of the work:

- Full Performance including the soli mice.- Full Performance without the soli mice, so that if you want the security

of the recorded singers, you can still provide your own soli mice live.- Accompaniment Tracks including the soli mice.- Accompaniment Tracks without the soli mice, in case

you want to provide your own singers for these parts.This is a guaranteed crowd pleaser that will work well with one class,

or with several classes or grades combined. It's a great way to share a bit offamiliar history with your singers set in an imaginative way that everyonewill enjoy.

HALLELUJAH! From G. F. Handel’s MESSIAHarranged for Young Voices by Paul Jennings

We all know the thrill of singing thisgreat work with a full orchestra – thepower, the glory, the chills up your spine.But the original version isn’t exactlydesigned for children’s voices. That’s whywe have created a new setting of thisclassic especially developed for youngchoirs. It is in a lower key, and isarranged for two treble voices.

As you would expect, we are alsoproviding a superb recording featuringfull orchestra with both a full

performance and just the accompaniment. There are also specialrehearsal tracks to help each part learn the music.

A Special Prologue For Extra Drama! To add a special touch toyour performances, we have also added a short, special prologue with anair of anticipation and an optional narration. The recording is designedso that you can perform the work with the prologue or with the originalopening to the work.

In addition to our traditional Performance Kit, you can also orderthis work in downloadable form. And while the kit comes with areproducible Singer’s Part, we also offer you pre-printed parts to saveyou time at the printer or photocopier. The downloadable edition givesyou the same pages and recordings, but in the form of PDFs and MP3s.

With this product, we’re offering the score and instrumental parts forthe arrangement heard on the recording. This way, if you have acommunity orchestra, or a fairly good school orchestra, you can performthe work live. We do not believe that this arrangement is appropriate formost elementary school beginning orchestras, however. Theorchestration is available in downloadable form as a PDF.

O HOLY NIGHTarr. Teresa Jennings

This beautiful carol has always beenone of Teresa’s favorites, so crafting it foryoung singers has been a work of love.Her unique setting of it is soulful andethereal in ways that are best heard. Thebedrock of the arrangement is aninterplay among the voices, a distinctivepiano part, and one of the mosthaunting saxophone countermelodiesever written.

Vocally, it is set as a unison, optional2-part arrangement, and while thesecond part is optional, it really addsnicely to the mood. It should also benoted that this is a superb vehicle for a

soloist, as you will hear on the optional solo recording provided in thekit. Also note that another option for live performance would be to usejust singers, piano, and any strong wind or string soloist playing the lineprovided on the score.

Of course, as with all of our products, the recording is state-of-the art,with strings supporting the stellar performances described above. This isan arrangement that will provide a moment of awe in any holiday performance, however you decide to perform it.SE-1006 PERFORMANCE KIT with CD........................................ 16.95

HARMONY For 3-Part Mixed or Unison Voicesby Teresa Jennings

This richly beautiful song is based onJohann Pachelbel’s famous chordprogression for his Canon In D. There arevariations, however, from the original, andthe actual melody and countermelodies, arenever used. Instead, there is an originalmelody which tells the story of a little baby“who loved with all his heart.” Right off thebat, you could read a sacred theme into thistext, even though it never specifiesanything sacred.

This song is very special to us, and overthe years it has remained a favorite to us

and to the many thousands of schools who have used it.The amazing Performance/Accompaniment recordings are excellent

resources on this song for just listening. The full version includes thechildren’s voices and could be used as a teaching reference. It is also a joy tolisten to for the sheer pleasure of it. The accompaniment track reveals theorchestration more clearly because there are no children’s voices on it. Enjoythe powerful orchestration and the big ending.

This special song works for a wide variety of ensembles, and would make agreat way to combine classes capable of performing unison, 2-Part, and 3-Part mixed arrangements.HS-216 PERFORMANCE KIT with CD.......................................... 21.95

LITTLE LAMBS IN BETHLEHEM A Christmas Musical For Very Young Voicesby Karl Hitzemann

“Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” Whatan incredible night! The shepherds, watching their flocks by night, have just been visited by an angeltelling them of wonderful news in Bethlehem. “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that hashappened, which the Lord has told us about,” they say, and off they go to meet the newborn King. Butoh no, a group of little lambs had wandered off while this was happening, and when they return, theyfind 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 bigbright star in the East just has to be leading them somewhere. Little Lambs In Bethlehem delivers themessage of Christ’s birth in the most humble and innocent of ways. It’s light and simple and even a littlesilly at times (whenever the lambs say a word that starts with a “B,” they start it with a “Bah”). But themessage is pure and very powerful. It will be equally meaningful to your congregation or audience andyour performers. Songs include: The Newborn King, A Little Prayer, We Will Find Our Way, O Little Town Of Bethlehem, and Rejoice!

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR REINDEER (TO FLY) by Teresa Jennings and Karl HitzemannAll young magic reindeer need a good, well-rounded education. Fortunately, they are able to get one from

the School of Reindeer at (where else?) the North Pole. They can study all of the important subjects likemath, science, reading, music, and so on. But they also have to have specialized training in necessary skills likeleaping, reindeer games, and of course, flying.

Now you would think that flying comes easily to these youngsters, and the truth is, all magic reindeer dohave the ability to fly. However, it doesn’t just happen. It has to be learned, or at the very least, chosen, as theyoung 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 taleunfolds, it is revealed that it is the kindness in a reindeer’s heart that renders flight possible. An inspiringmessage for us all, to be sure. And because the story centers around flying, several of the characters are namedafter famous pilots, including Amelia Earhart, Buzz Aldrin, Orville and Wilbur Wright, and more. This makesfor 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,Reindeer 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 ofsuggestions for making a great performance. Also included are reproducible Singer’s Parts, lyric sheets, posters, and program covers.HT-116 PERFORMANCE KIT with CD................................................................................................... 59.95

K-4 WINTER/CHRISTMAS MUSICALS BY TERESA JENNINGS & KARL HITZEMANNTHE 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, ofcourse, finding a substitute to take over his Christmas Eve duties, namely delivering gifts to good littlechildren all around the world – in one night. It’s a challenging task, and choosing the right replacementis equally challenging. Toward this end, Santa accepts applications and resumés from hundreds of candidatesthat 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 seeexpected characters like reindeer and elves, but we also note that there are other animals such as polar bears,tigers, and even penguins in line. Not to miss an opportunity, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy decide totry their luck as well. (Even the New Year’s baby, Cupid, a leprechaun, Uncle Sam, Lady Liberty, a pumpkin, aturkey, and a pilgrim are rumored to make an optional cameo in the scene.) Santa certainly has a difficultdecision to make!

At the end of the line, we see a little snowman standing alone. A rather shy and quiet character, he seemsto be the subject of some disagreeable comments from the others. They are quite rude and imply that he hasn’tgot a snowball’s chance of getting the job. He is not daunted by their bullying, and in fact, only sends themloving thoughts in return. Santa witnesses the exchange and is touched by the snowman’s big heart and gentlenature. As you might imagine, Santa is so impressed that he chooses the snowman to take his place onChristmas Eve. The Greatest Snowman is sure to be a hit with your audience. It includes these five originalsongs: Every Hundred Years, Santa Takes A Break; Pick Me, Me, Me!; Snowman, Why Are You Here?; Jolly Old Words To Live By; and The Greatest Season.GS-116 PERFORMANCE KIT with CD .................................................................................................. 59.95

GS 113 PERFORMANANA CE KIT ith MP3

FA LA LA LAND by Teresa Jennings and Karl HitzemannRodgers and Hammerstein. Lennon and McCartney. Bacharach and David. Webber and Rice. Goffin and

King... The list goes on and on. After all, songwriting collaborations – where one person writes the music andanother writes the lyrics – have been around for ages. And with some really wonderful results, we might note.But then it begs the question: Where would the music be without the lyrics? And where would the lyrics bewithout the music? Ah! Where indeed? To answer this, we visit the songwriters of Fa La La Land, who areactively 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,and even friendships as well. Such is the case with the Composers and the Lyricists this particular holidayseason when, in an innocent exchange, a cavalier comment or two about which aspect of songwriting is moreimportant 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, butas-of-yet elusive song, intervenes. She reminds both groups of the overall good of their work together and itsimportance for the season. But more than that, she shares a message of peace, forgiveness, love, andfriendship – especially at this time of year!

Approximately 20 minutes long, the musical includes five original songs and a lighthearted script withshort, easy-to-learn lines for your students. Songs include: A Musical Time Of Year; Music Is Our Thing; Not With Me; When We Get Along; and Good, Good Holiday Feelings!FL-116 PERFORMANCE KIT with CD.................................................................................................... 59.95

ELFIS GOES WEST WITHLEWIS AND CLARK by Teresa Jennings

This delightful Elfis musical issomething very different. TeresaJennings has created a Christmassyprimary musical that is great for anyschool’s winter performance. It is 15-20minutes in length and can be performedwith groups of almost any size. While itsplot is, shall we say, not quitehistorically accurate, this sillyadventure provides the perfectspringboard into a more in-depth uniton Lewis and Clark.

Our tale goes something like this:Lewis and Clark accidentally wind up at

the North Pole when they fail to turn left in North Dakota, despite theadvice of their guide, Sacajawea. They have the good fortune to meet upwith Santa Claus and his usual entourage, including the renownedsinging elf, Elfis. Santa gives Lewis and Clark and their team of explorersa ride back to the western territory on his sleigh. He returns to the NorthPole, but leaves Elfis and several elves behind to join the expeditionwest. Unfortunately, the ride through the sky has left Sacajawea with anasty cold and an acute case of laryngitis. Since she is the only one whocan communicate with the native peoples they encounter along the way,they have a problem. The natives do not know whether the explorers arefriend or foe. Elfis to the rescue! He sings a song of friendship andbrotherhood, and lo and behold, they understand. Thanks to theuniversal language of music, Lewis and Clark are able to resume theirimportant mission.

This musical features five original songs: Exploring!, Up And Away!,Friend Or Foe, See What We Share, and Rockin’ Adventure In TheU.S.A. ...and some very special action music. The script is simple andfun-loving, and it works with lots of performers or just one class, if youlike. You can even perform this back-to-back with one of Elfis’ earlier adventures for a longer, fun-filled performance.EW-116 PERFORMANCE KIT with CD........................................ 59.95

THE ELVES’ IMPERSONATORby Teresa Jennings

Santa’s Workshop at theNorth Pole is abuzz withexcitement and activity. Christmas isright around the corner! The Elves arebusily preparing toys and gifts for childrenall around the world, but their tasks aren’tenough to keep them from gossipingabout the new Elf on the block. Poor Elfisis the target of their ridicule and jokesbecause he looks unusual and actsdifferently than all of the other Elves.They even accuse him of being an ElfImpersonator! Feeling unloved anddowntrodden, Elfis sings the blues andruns away from Santa’s Workshop.

When Santa, his reindeer, and Mrs. Claus learn what has happened,they are outraged. Santa sends the reindeer out to find Elfis and bringhim back. Meanwhile, he and Mrs. C remind the rest of the Elves thatthey should accept others for who they are, no matter what theirdifferences. The Elves are ashamed of themselves, and when thereindeer bring Elfis back (yay!), they apologize and ask him to lead themin a song of celebration. He agrees, naturally, and the whole lot of themsing and dance together in a lively Christmas finale!

We probably don’t need to tell you what fun your youngest singerswill have with this clever offering from Teresa Jennings. The songsinclude “Our Fav’rite Time Of Year!” (the festive opener), “The New ElfOn The Block,” “Elf Impersonator!,” “He’s So Blue,” “Arm In Arm” (a striking call for acceptance and togetherness), and “The Santa ClausRock!” (a great ’50s-style closer that is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser).

ELFIS AND THE SLEIGH RIDERSby Teresa Jennings

It’s the holiday season, and Elfis theElf is singin’ and swingin’ in style! All ofthe gang there love to hear him play hisguitar and perform. Santa Claus isparticularly fond of Elfis and his music,and as a surprise, he decides to find aband for Elfis. Elfis meets his new bassplayer, drummer, pianist, and backgroundvocalists, and the fun continues. Thenewly formed group is called, “Elfis andThe Sleigh Riders.”

Alas, as it sometimes happens, notall goes well. The members of TheSleigh Riders get into an argument over

who is going to sing a solo. They are unable to resolve their differences,and the band splits up. Despite the best efforts of the elves, the reindeer,and even Santa and Mrs. Claus, the band members are too angry to eventalk to each other. Elfis intervenes with a poignant reminder of the valueand importance of friendship and communication. The band membersrealize how foolish they have been to harbor anger against each other,and they make up. Once again, Elfis and The Sleigh Riders are backtogether and rockin’ better than ever at the North Pole!

In this classic rock ’n’ roll rendition of elf meets band, elf loses band, elfgets band, the message here is the nurturing of friendships. Reprising hisrole from The Elves’ Impersonator, Elfis is back to once again bring his brandof music to the holiday season. (The Elves’ Impersonator is a musical thatwas released several years ago by Plank Road Publishing. While Elfis andThe Sleigh Riders is a sequel to The Elves’ Impersonator, it is also independentof it and can be performed without any reference to it. It has also beencrafted so that you could piggy-back the two musicals.)

That is, until one night when a mischievous band of pirates sneaks into town and plunders thepiñatas. When the townspeople discover the crime, they are horrified! Who could have done such a thing? Theyset out to discover the identity of the culprits by setting a trap, using the few piñatas they have left as bait. Onlyinstead of filling them with treats, this time they use hot peppers! When the thieves do indeed return to the sceneof the crime, they are most unpleasantly surprised when the “candy” they bite into turns out to be hot, hot, hot!Rendered temporarily helpless, they are easily captured by the people of Piñataville who quickly andcompassionately give them cool water to drink.

The penitent pirates admit their extreme fondness for sweets and apologize for their actions. Thetownspeople decide to let it go if the pirates agree to help them make more piñatas for the upcoming holidays. Thepirates are delighted to help, not only paying their debt to society, but making new friends as well. Everything issweet in Piñataville once again!

THE INCREDIBLE REINDEERby Teresa Jennings

Everyone knows that a certain typeof reindeer has incredible super powers –they can fly! But that’s not all they cando. They can fly completely around theworld in one night. Amazing!Stupendous! But this has nothing to dowith our story. Our story is about a teamof reindeer who can not only fly, theyalso have incredible super powers.

As our story begins, we find SantaClaus facing a common conundrum:what to do on a foggy Christmas Eve.His usual solution – a certain red-nosed reindeer – has a bad cold andwon’t be able to guide his sleigh. As if

that wasn’t bad enough, Santa’s special team of Astronomer Elves hasjust determined that an asteroid is hurtling toward the North Pole, dueto hit on Christmas Eve! Certain disaster! Calamity! Chaos! Couldthings be any worse?

But wait! Just as all seems lost, enter our legion of superheroes: TheIncredible Reindeer! This unique group of reindeer possesses amazingsuper powers. Hyper Speed has magic antlers that can propel him fasterand higher than any other reindeer. Mighty Moose has super strengthpowerful enough to push any asteroid off its trajectory. Laser Squint hasatomic vision that can turn rock into cinders. And Robo Guy is a partiallybionic reindeer with phenomenal mathematic and scientific skills – aswell as some cool physical attributes. Together, The Incredible Reindeermeet and overcome the deadly challenge of the asteroid, saving the NorthPole, and the world, from certain doom.

Songs include: Happy Christmas Eve!; Foggy, Foggy Night; What WeNeed Is A Miracle; The Incredible Mission; and A Super Celebration! Thescript is fun-loving, and all of those super antics happen offstage with theother actors reacting. And there are special music and sound effects for all of the action.

A MARTIAN CHRISTMASby Teresa Jennings

This out-of-this-world musical isloaded with fun and great music. It is 15-20 minutes in length and can beperformed with groups of just about anysize. While its plot is sheer fantasy, itprovides the perfect springboard intomore in-depth units and other discussionsabout Mars exploration. Let otherclassroom teachers join you in preparingfor a performance of this holiday musical.

While decorating their school forChristmas, a group of local elementaryschool students are interrupted by asurprise visit from a band of Martians and

their dog, Rover. The Martians’ curiosity gets the better of them as theyobserve the strange holiday rituals of the Earthlings. They are particularlyintrigued by the singing, which the students first demonstrate, then teach.Just as the fledgling friendships are developing, the commander of theMartian spaceship, Darph Meanie, enters. He is angry that the Martianshave not freeze-dried the Earthlings. Upon further investigation, we learnthat the Martians stopped at Earth to take some snow, which fuels theirspaceship. To the surprise of the Martians, the students offer the snowfreely to them. They accept and all is well. The students and the Martiansjoin together to celebrate the very first Martian Christmas.

This musical carries a valuable message about sharing and comes witheverything you will need to produce a memorable performance.

THE UNITY TREEby Teresa Jennings

Recent times have shown us howmuch we need love, understanding, andacceptance. And since many teachershave told us that they wanted to addressthis with music, Teresa Jennings hascreated a fantastic, non-Christmasprimary musical that is great for anyschool’s winter performance, and itworks well any time of the year.

A prominent tree with a large,vertical stripe right down its middleforms a distinct boundary betweenCatville and Dogburg. Longstandingprejudice and intolerance dwell there as

well. Ironically, both Catville and Dogburg share at least one commoncharacteristic: Their population is replenished during the occasionalsnowstorm in which it literally snows cats and dogs. Following one suchsnowstorm, a new kitten and puppy discover each other before they findtheir “own kind.” Being ignorant of the way things are “supposed” to be,they form a quick friendship.

Living together in harmony and helping each other through adversityturns out to be an attractive alternative to all of the cats and dogs. Theydecide to set aside their prejudice and intolerance, and to embrace theirdifferences. The vertical stripe is removed from the tree and a new sign isattached which reads, “The Unity Tree.”

Songs include: It’s Snowing Cats And Dogs!, Let’s Play, Just The WayThat It Is, You’ll Be Sorry, I’d Rather Be Your Friend, and United WeStand. The CD features three versions of the musical for maximumusability. The Teacher’s Handbook also features a full script, detailedperformance notes, suggestions for costuming and sets, and even reproducible posters and a program cover.

FA LA LA & HO HO HOby 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 youngperformers shine. The concept is simple: Give a group of instrumentalists and kazoo players snippets frompopular Christmas tunes, with each phrase ending in a vocal duel of “fa la la” and “ho ho ho.” Ideally, the “fala la” will be sung artfully and very pr-r-roper by half of your singers. The answering “ho ho ho” will be moreraucous and Santa-like by the other half... (maybe just the boys?). You can see the possibilities for humorand 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 anarray of classroom percussion. The recorded tracks make this very special, featuring full orchestra and muchmore. This terrific kit includes a high-quality Performance/Accompaniment recording. There are a number ofoptions for using alternative percussion instruments, and there are suggestions for staging that will make this a memorable highlight in any winter performance.FA-116 PERFORMANCE KIT with CD ...................................................................................................... 22.95

THE TWELVE DAYS OF JOYOUS INSTRUMENTSby Teresa and Paul Jennings

It is great fun and a unique educational opportunity to gatherlots of students together to play in an instrumental ensemble. This holiday spectacular brings togetherkazoos, Boomwhackers®, and a host of favorite classroom instruments.

For this extravaganza, we have taken “The Twelve Days Of Christmas” and adapted the lyrics for eachinstrument or group of instruments (“...and a partridge in a pear tree” becomes “...and kazoos of red andgreen”). After each instrument’s mention in the song, there is a short interlude that allows the instrument toplay, 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 theinstruments, including substitutes, and even options for making your own instruments. The kit also includes ascore 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.

A JOYOUS SEASON FOR RECORDERS arr. Paul JenningsEvery 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 ofthese arrangements has two soprano parts, one harder and close to the melody and one easier, either justrequiring 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.JS-116 PERFORMANCE KIT with CD....................................................................................................... 24.95

The nine songs are all relatively short, with brief intros and endings that make them ideal for testingmultiple students or providing good material for early performances. Each song is presented progressivelywith a nice mix of styles and rhythmic interest. The songs in this collection are presented in 34 differenttracks, with several of them presented in multiple tempos or lengths. Included are:

• Thunder Hawk - BA • Luna Kahuna - BAG• ACcelerate - AC • Lightspeed Caterpillar - BAG• Bumblebee Bop - B • Renaissance Circle Dance - GABC• Chillaxin’ - BAG • Juba Jump - GABC• Flutter By, Butterfly - BAG

Sometimes holding your own recorder in front of your students todemonstrate a fingering just doesn’t cut it – especially if you areworking in a large classroom, on stage, or with a big group.

Likewise, using a larger recorder (such as a tenor) doesn’t helpmuch either because, while the recorder is larger, your fingers are stillthe same size. Enter Recorder Dude! Originally developed by NormSands 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 veryown Recorder Dude.

SING A SONG OF MUSICAL CONCEPTS by Teresa Jennings and John RiggioOver the last few years, we have done a number of songs in MUSIC K-8 magazine that make it easier to

teach the elements of music. The reaction from teachers has been so positive that we wanted to assemblethe 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 lyricsand dynamics telling the story.

• Legato Staccato - What better way to contrast these two concepts than one of Teresa’s cool, fun-to-sing 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,”and you’ll know all about 4/4 time.

• Presto Largo - “Speed metal polka” best describes the presto sections of the piece. Contrast that with aRachmaninoff-inspired largo.

• Every Good Boy Does Fine - This lively pop tune lets your students make up other E, G, B, D, Fphrases... 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 alsorequire 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 isthe perfect answer to Crescendo. Once you have learned both songs, sing them back to back and try to getmore contrast every time. It’s a challenge that will teach the concepts while it builds more musical singers!

ANIMATED MUSICAL CONCEPTS by Teresa Jennings and Karl HitzemannYou’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 MusicalConcepts (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. Wehave 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 thespaces of the treble clef. The use of the pertinent notes makes a beautiful F major 7 chord, which was justcrying 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 bestknown 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.

WARM-UPS FOR YOUNG VOICES by Anne Ellsworth and Teresa JenningsProperly warming up young singers can be tough, especially when you have a limited amount of

time with them and when your singers are easily distracted. By popular demand, Anne and Teresahave 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 childrensinging energetically and musically no matter what the style of the work. The first few minutes of each sessionare 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 ofspecially arranged “just for fun” exercises guaranteed to loosen up your singers and help you relax them inthe classroom or before a performance.

The Teacher’s Handbook includes all of the warm-ups written out and discussed, along with other helpfulwarm-up tips from the authors. The special Performance/Accompaniment CD includes a full demonstrationof 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.WA-116 KIT with CD (Teacher’s Handbook & P/A CD) ................................................................................... 24.95WA-117 DOWNLOADABLE KIT (Downloadable PDFs and MP3s) ............................................................... 22.95WA-119 CONVENIENCE COMBO KIT (both Print and Downloadable) ............................................................... 29.95

UPSTANDING CITIZENS by Teresa Jennings, Mike Wilson, Karl Hitzemann, and Paul JenningsWe 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.

PARTNER WARM-UPS FOR YOUNG VOICES by Teresa JenningsThroughout the history of MUSIC K-8magazine, Teresa Jennings has created unique warm-ups that capture the

attention of young singers. These songs are good for teaching precision, enunciation, articulation, and, as they are truepartner 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.

fun for older students with the alternative lyrics used for the second half of the song.

CLASSICAL BELLS by Karl HitzemannHandbells are fun to play. And they’re a great way for young musicians to master skills in ear-training,

music reading, and ensemble playing. That’s why we thought it was a terrific idea to combine handbellswith classical music. That way, kids can have fun performing and learn about some of the greatestmusical works ever written. The collection features six favorite pieces from six of classical music’sgreatest composers – Pachelbel, Vivaldi, Bach, Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven. These arrangements willwork with any type of pitched percussion instruments, such as Boomwhackers®. Includes:

• Vivaldi’s Spring - From Concerto No. 1 in E major, this piece features a lively orchestration that your studentswill enjoy and want to play along.

• Haydn’s Surprise - This tune, from Symphony No. 94, comes with two tempos, so you can rehearse and thenshow off a bit!

• Mozart’s Sonata - The setting of this very familiar piano sonata (Sonata in C, K. 545) features an orchestraand, of course, handbells!

• Bach’s Sheep - This beautiful melody from Sheep May Safely Graze is perfect for handbells. It has two temposfor you to choose from.

• Pachelbel’s Canon - The famous Canon in D set for bells and orchestra.• Beethoven’s Joy - From Beethoven’s 9th Symphony, this will make for an impressive performance piece.
