Solid SSA Accompaniment for Holiday Gigs
This SSA arrangement of Donny Hathaway's 'This Christmas' by Roger Emerson is a solid pick for holiday choir gigs. The piano accompaniment clearly outlines the harmonies in Ab, making it easy to support the singers. While it's a full choral score rather than a lead sheet, the arrangement is professional and instantly recognizable. Just be mindful of page turns during performance if you're the accompanist!

Joyful Holiday Classic for Community Choirs!
I absolutely love this Roger Emerson arrangement of Donny Hathaway's 'This Christmas'! It truly captures the happy, upbeat spirit of the original song. As an adult learner in a community choir, the SSA voicing in Ab is challenging but definitely achievable, making us sound fantastic. It’s such a joyful piece to rehearse and perform for the holidays, bringing that classic R&B festive feel.

Excellent Support for Treble Choirs
Roger Emerson's SSA arrangement of 'This Christmas' in Ab provides wonderful support for treble voices. The piano texture is well-crafted, offering a rich harmonic foundation and rhythmic drive without overpowering the choir. It effectively doubles key melodic lines where appropriate while allowing the voices to shine. This is a very singable arrangement, making my job as a vocal coach much easier for a successful performance.
