Adeste Fideles
Beauty in simplicity best
describes Greg’s new Latin
setting, Adeste Fideles, for the
Christmas season. The unison
singing gently seated above a
fluid piano accompaniment
develops into a musically
lifting chorus that will bring
out the best in your young
singers’ voices. The “B” section, more bold and
deliberate, resolves back into
the softer verse and chorus,
creating repetition in learning.
Available for TB voices as well,
this piece creates a wonderful
opportunity for your male
singers to sing with heart and
confidence.

Ja-Da, Ja-Da, Jing Jing Jing
This novelty standard from the
1920s is excellently revived by
Greg Gilpin in a ragtime styled
choral for three-part and
two-part voices. The verses are
interesting between the parts,
sometimes singing together while
other times back and forth and
the chorus is repetitive until
the key change where a more
rhythmic approach to the
arrangement takes place.
Lyrically, this song is dynamite
with an arrangement easy to

A
Star Spangled Celebration (incorporating This Is My
Country, America and My Country ’Tis of Thee)
This fast paced, pop-style
medley is a break from patriotic
tradition. Opening grandly into
a contemporary work with This Is
My Country, this choral develops
into America, grows into a
gospel style setting of My
Country ’Tis of Thee and ends as
it began with This Is My
Country. It remains up-beat and
powerful until the very last
chord. A Star Spangled
Celebration is a choreographer’s
dream of movement and energy,
and a wonderful addition to
