Jingle Bells dates from the mid-nineteenth century and is thought to be one of the first secular Christmas songs to ‘top the charts’.

From Broadway, pop and folk to spirituals, gospel and original works, the series is arranged for 3-part choir (soprano, alto and a combined male-voice part) providing flexibility for any choir.
