A reliable pick for vocal ensembles during the holiday season. Mel Torme's classic 'The Christmas Song' arranged for SATB a cappella means no need for accompaniment. The arrangement is fresh and engaging, ensuring audience appeal. The 8-page octavo format is manageable for quick rehearsal and performance on a gig. A definite keeper for a polished, yet accessible, sound.
