    Solid A Cappella Chart for Holiday Gigs

    A practical choice for holiday engagements. Kirby Shaw’s jazz waltz take on "Carol of the Bells" is fresh and well-suited for an SSAA ensemble. No chord symbols are relevant as it's a cappella, and the eight pages are manageable for performance. It's a unique arrangement that still retains recognition, making it adaptable for various audiences at events.
