Broadway veteran and comedian Ana Gasteyer's holiday album is filled with clever gems like this nifty novelty number. Can you think of a rhyme for the word Christmas? It's nearly impossible. After several failed attempts, grins, chuckles, and one-liners throughout the jazzy tune, the lyrics conclude that we don't need a rhyme for Christmas, only you!

The traditional Ubi Caritas text is uniquely set as an uptempo jazz waltz. Just one sentence in Latin plus a few English lyrics make it clear that this song is all about charity and love. As you've come to expect from this composer, the canon is a true skill-builder---with a modal melody that moves from unison to two and eventually three independent layers (using descant singers for 2-part choirs). Don't miss the jazzy flute obbligato available free online.
