UPC: 672405010962. 6.875 x 10.5 inches. Key: Eb major. English.

Emerging mixed choirs love to sing Jingle Bells, so it is my hope that this setting with limited ranges, repetitive patterns and a rhythmic ostinato proves to be a fun journey for the choir.As you work through the piece, here are a few guiding points: The ostinato throughout should be rhythmic and accented. “Jing” should go straight to the “ng” sound. In contrast, the melody should be sung in a rhythmic, legato style. The piece offers an opportunity to work melodic versus accompaniment balance between parts. In a similar manner, in the call-and-response verse (mm. 29-39), parts should be equal in their dynamics while still achieving clarity in textual differences when they occur.
