Format : Vocal Score
B. Wayne Bisbee sparks new life into an old favorite with his setting of “Deck the Hall.” Instead of the traditional 4/4 chorale melody Bisbee has written a lilting jig in 6/8 and sometimes 7/8 with optional soloistor small group on the middle stanza. The melody is cheerful and festive with a wonderful echo effect on the final “fa la la's.” This festive dance-like version of “Deck the Hall” would make a great concertor festival opener for the holiday season.

A Christmas classic updated with a fresh Latin groove! Syncopated rhythms energize the vocal lines, which remain true to the carol's original harmonization. A new Fa la la refrain and bridge build excitement leading to the third verse, and a key change near the end results in a big finish. Add the SoundTrax CD, SoundPax, and complete choreography from the Movin' DVD for even more pizzazz!
