need help/suggestions - 2006/12/14 02:45 can anyone think of any good christmas songs to do SSA or SAA? we would prefer something "fun" and "poppy" since we usually do the madrigal and classical type-thing.

i was thinking something along the lines of a ronettes song, like i saw mommy kissing santa claus. unfortunately, i am finding that they are arranged for solo w/ very little back up. i arranged some harmonies, but i am not sure i like it....

there are some songs that are already in the performance (have yourself a merry little christmas, winter wonderland, jingle bells, etc)

if you have any suggestions, throw them my way!
They call me Jessica (like: They call me lady luck... lol)

Favorite roles:

Eva Peron, Evita; Jack's Mother, Into the Woods; Sonia, Godspell; Anything Goes, Reno Sweeney; Audrey, Little Shop of Horrors; Catherine, Pippin

Re:need help/suggestions - 2006/12/14 03:21 My chamber choir at college did "Perfect Christmas Night" from How the Grinch Stole Christmas. It has a lot of shoobie do-wops in it, and was a ton of fun to do!

It's track 8 if you want to listen to a bit of it!

We even wore shades. Go madrigals!
sweet Alyssa!

Re:need help/suggestions - 2006/12/14 03:30 Hmm, these are probably bad ideas but we'll blame it on the eggnog.

You could look at the Barenaked Ladies holiday album - they use a lot of harmony.

This Christmas - I don't know if there's a good arrangement, and it's more sexy than poppy...

It's A Marshmallow World?

Re:need help/suggestions - 2006/12/14 03:45 ideas fueled by eggnog are better than none at all! LOL!! wish i had some eggnog right about now!

i like your thought of BNL. i am not sure i know this christmas.

and.... ronarayas... freehandmusic.com has your song readily available! COOL! (i tried musicnotes.com, but it didn't have it digitally.)
