JAZZ VOCALS – CHRISTMAS Jane Lynch (from the TV show “Glee”) presents a nostalgic set of Christmas tunes. Most are quite popular, some are originals. Voices are 2 females, 1 male. Harmony style may remind you of Andrews Sisters, etc. Settings include big band, smaller ensemble, a cappella. No FCC issues. 1 Fast. Three voices. Cheery. Big swing-era band led by loud brass. Original song. (2:11) 2 * Fast. Cutesy singing. Small band is more subdued. Fun. (3:03) 3 * Mid tempo. Romantic song with strings. Lynch leads here; the others back her. (3:03) 4 Mid-fast medley. Led by other female (alto) singer. Instrumental bridge. (3:06) 5 Fast. Pop version of Handel’s famous “Hallelujah” with none of the power. (3:41) 6 Mid tempo. Nativity scene. Male sings first, then Lynch. Piano & flute. (3:16) 7 Slow, gloopy ballad but with comically “naughty” lyrics. Original song. (3:28) 8 * Mid slow, then faster. Jazzy treatment of “Jingle Bells.” Small group. (2:44) 9 Very slow. Often recorded, old English carol. Pretty but not special. (2:27) 10 Mid- tempo swing. Original song. Male voice with big band. Horn break. (2:35) 11 Mid-tempo. Original song. A naughty child writes to Santa. (4:07) 12 Mid-slow. Medley of “First Noel” and Pachelbel’s “Canon”. Pretty pop. (2:59) 13 * Mid-tempo. Small band with Brubeck-like bounce. Nice vocal harmonies. (3:51) 14 Slow. Soft instrumental (“Silent Night”) with organ and muted trumpet. (3:38) 15 Very slow. Nativity scene. Three voices, a cappella. (1:23) | ||
