A set of original Christmas songs for voices, with piano/keyboard accompaniment. Each song represents a letter in the word 'CHRISTMAS'. The words 'Angels' and 'Christmas' are used but the songs have a festive and secular, rather than religious, theme. This musical work contains some lyrics and melodies which, although quite straightforward in structure, are a little more challenging than other pieces in my sheet music catalogue. This is because the original version was first performed by pupils at a special school, supported by a mainstream school choir.
Suitable for lower young children/lower Primary. Some songs have very simple words and tunes. May be performed as a cantata or dramatic production with dialogue developed according to the abilities of participants.
Download includes: Cover/Contents/Preface and Introduction/List of Characters/Synopsis of Scenes/Set of Song Words/Set of Vocal Scores/Set of Vocal Scores + Piano and Keyboard Scores: 53 pages in total.
