This bluesy tune is a song of peace that uses light as the metaphor for connection to each other, making it a great piece for any time of year, including a holiday performance. While scored for three-part mixed voices, the third part is optional, so it works as a two-part just as well. The duet at the beginning is also optional but adds a beautiful touch.

Includes student parts, teaching suggestions, and ideas for forming a beginning bucket band. Songs: Carol of the Drum; O Christmas Tree; Sing We Now of Christmas; What Child Is This?; Good King Wenceslas and We Wish You a Merry Christmas.

This song includes a recurring refrain and verses that contain the names of the fifty states, in alphabetical order. The state names are spoken to a rhythm that is written out, and the refrain of the song is sung in unison. It's not particularly difficult, and it's catchy. Truly a cross-curricular gem.
