This lovely Catalan Christmas carol, probably dating back to the 16th century, has one of the most lilting of all folk melodies. It's a Christmas folk song, which tells of bringing local Mediterranean produce as gifts for Mary's newborn son: dates, figs, nuts, honey, cheese.
The setting has simple harmonies, enhanced by the flute floating above.
The solo (v2) could be sung in unison, but if you have a soloist brave enough to try, it's worth the effort.
I made this arrangement for a local ladies choir here in France - it sounds fabulous!

This beautiful prayer is the Aaronic Blessing, given by Moses to Aaron, for the people of God. 
I wanted it to be uncomplicated and accessible, and as far as possible to follow the rhythms of speech. This version is for 2-part choir, S and A, with an optional top note, and piano accompaniment.
The singing is interspersed by a simple piano motif symbolising cheerfulness.
I wrote it (proud mama) to mark this year's ordination to Deacon of my daughter. It's one of her favourite prayers.
(Though she says the prayer she uses most often is Help!).

Said to be based on a Czech folk melody, and originally written as the Carol of the Drum, this French version - L'Enfant au Tambour - doesn't mention Christmas at all. Instead, it's the story of a little boy's love for his father - who yesterday followed the soldiers' drums and went off to war. The boy, in his dream, tells the angels that he will give up his most precious possession - his drum - for his father's safe return. The angels, moved by his willingness to sacrifice, tell him that his father will return. He wakes, with his head on his drum. What a great story! What a fabulous song!

Guabi Guabi is a catchy children's song, here arranged for treble voices with guitar. 
It means: Listen, Guabi Guabi, I have a girlfriend, She lives at Nkamben; sure, I love her! I will buy her buns, and sweets, and bananas.
Add any small percussion but keep it light, and sing it with a big smile!
