CGE33 Please Don't Sing Another Fa La La (SATB)
Description
You can sing of snow or Santa's "Ho, ho, ho". But please don't sing another "Fa la la"! This clever novelty piece addresses the fact that so many holiday songs feature Fa la la choruses and pleads for the audience to sing about anything else but Fa la la by suggesting a multitude of other holiday themes and ideas. The hilarious text is set in a Broadway-esque musical style over a bright, rhythmically driving accompaniment suitable for the stage. There are opportunities for solo features and it's a breeze to learn and perform. Oh, and just wait for that surprise ending...

Composer: Greg Gilpin
