Pictures of December: A Program of Songs Celebrating a Musical Month of Joy

by Greg Gilpin

Greg's popular collections/revues have delighted music educators, students and audiences with songs that educate, entertain and create top-notch performances. Heritage Music Press now presents this newest collection for the special month of December. Written in a wide variety of styles, the songs touch on many of the different 'pictures' we all 'see' or associate with December: snow and winter scenes, Santa Claus, Christmas trees, a Hanukkah dance, caroling, bells, and more --complete with simple dialogue/narrations and staging suggestions, such as the use of a giant picture frame for your performance area. If a revue is not your choice, each of these songs stands alone as an individual two-part choral piece, or you might consider adding your own musical selections to create a more personalized program. Like Greg's other collections, this book includes vocal/piano scores, reproducible vocal parts and a Performance/Accompaniment CD.
