A Fantastic SSA Arrangement for Developing Choirs
Kirby Shaw's SSA arrangement of 'Cool Yule' is a wonderful find for my high school choir. The difficulty is perfectly pitched for intermediate students, offering a fun swing rhythm challenge without being overwhelming. Engraving from Hal Leonard is clear, aiding sight-reading. It's excellent for teaching rhythmic precision and expressive vocal jazz style. Highly recommend for school and community ensembles looking for a festive, unique piece!

So Much Fun to Sing!
As an adult learner, I absolutely loved this SSA arrangement of Louis Armstrong's 'Cool Yule'! It truly captures the "swingin'" Christmas spirit with its hip, comic lyrics. The arrangement is challenging enough to feel rewarding but totally achievable for our community choir. It's such a light-hearted, fun piece that really brings joy. Makes our rehearsals a blast and sounds great for performances!
