Dynamic Accompaniment for SSA Jazz
This Kirby Shaw arrangement provides a vibrant foundation for SSA voices. The piano texture is clearly designed to support the choir with a strong jazz feel, offering rhythmic drive and harmonic richness without simply doubling the vocal lines. The ensemble scatting sections require careful vocal coaching for blend and precision, but the overall chart offers excellent opportunities for developing vocal jazz technique and stylistic performance.

So Fun to Sing and Sounds Amazing!
As an adult choir member, I absolutely loved learning "Swingin' Christmas Tree" by Kirby Shaw! It's such a joy to sing this classic carol with a fantastic swing twist and some fun scatting. The arrangement really makes you feel like you're part of a professional vocal jazz group. It's challenging enough to be rewarding, but totally achievable for our weekend choir. Pure enjoyment!
