Waltz for a Friday Evening
Friday evening it's still in the air
There's a soft white moon
Glowing through the trees.
At the end of the footpath
I still carry through
My thoughts quietly thought through the day...
@ 2016 Janet Windeler Ryan

Originally written for Open Voices Community Choir with accordionist Jan Le Clair, premiered on December 10, 2016 in Kingston, ON. Also available for SSA and tenor solo. Optional accordion part available upon request from marthahillduncan.com.

By Dropkick Murphy's. By Alexander Barr, James Lynch, Jeff Da Rosa, Ken Casey, Matthew Kelly, and Timothy John Brennan. Arranged by Dan Bradley. Celtic,Christmas,Comedy,Holiday,Irish,Punk. 14 pages. Mare Dan Music #1037234. Published by Mare Dan Music (A0.1458257).

The Season's Upon Us, by the Dropkick Murphys is a humorous Celtic Punk Rock song. This humorous celtic song is about a dysfunctional family celebrating the holidays. The lyrics are PG-13 so performance is recommended for College audiences or mature audiences. 

Performance by or for children is not recommended.
Here arranged with a tongue in cheek sweet 3/4 choral intro later progressing into a 6/8 with angst and harmony 
There are humorous solos and plenty of room for dramatics. 
The song was performed by The Dropkick Murphys in the key of C. 
The arrnger chose G to allow 4 part harmony. 

Performance Suggestions: With a capable choir this could/should be performed a capella with interludes by a button accordion. 
A melodica, or flute/pennywhistle could be substituted for the accordion, or a piano/synth. 
On the recording there are also guitars and bodhráns - an Irish hand-drum. 
Guitar chords are included in the arrangement. A suggestion is to watch the original Dropkick Murphy's video on Youtube to catch the spirit of the song.

By Stewart J Wallace. By Traditional. Arranged by Stewart J Wallace. 19th Century,A Cappella,Comedy,Folk,Traditional. Octavo. 12 pages. Stewart J Wallace #753994. Published by Stewart J Wallace (A0.1153733).

An arrangement of the traditional West Country English folksong Widicombe Fair for SATB a cappella voices. This is a ghostly and humorous tale of Tom Pearce's old grey mare and the motley collection of Bill Brewer, Jan Stewar, Peter Gurney, Peter Davey, Daniel Widdon, Harry Hawke and old Uncle Tom Cobley who all endeavour to go to Widicombe Fair with the horse as their means of transport. The melody is mainly in the tenors and basses at the beginning, and there is a minor section for two verses in the middle. In the original song there are up to 9 verses with several variations, but this arrangement cuts it down to 8 verses which is still almost 4 minutes running time! A simple piano, guitar, or accordion accompaniment can be added by playing the chord symbols and the choir should be encouraged to add vocal effects to bring this song (and possibly the old grey mare) alive.
