Fun and Rewarding Jazz Carol!
I absolutely love this jazz waltz arrangement of 'Carol of the Bells' by Kirby Shaw! It’s such a fun, unique take on a classic holiday carol. Our community choir members really enjoyed learning the a cappella harmonies, and it sounds so professional once we nailed the swing rhythm. It's challenging enough to feel rewarding, but totally achievable for weekend singers. Highly recommend for a joyous Christmas performance!

Great for A Cappella Vocal Development
As a choral vocal coach, I find Kirby Shaw's a cappella 'Carol of the Bells' to be an excellent teaching tool. The SATB voice-leading is cleverly done, presenting harmonic and rhythmic nuances crucial for developing ensemble precision in a jazz style. While there's no piano, the internal harmonies serve as their own accompaniment, demanding careful listening and balance from the singers. A great piece for developing musicianship!

Unique A Cappella Piece for Gigs
Kirby Shaw's jazz waltz 'Carol of the Bells' is a solid choice for professional a cappella ensembles. It’s distinct enough to stand out in a holiday set, and the voicing is well-crafted for quick learning. Being a cappella requires precision, but the parts are intuitive. It's a fresh, energetic take that audiences will appreciate, and at 1:45, it fits well into varied programs. Ready to perform with minimal fuss.
