(Do You Want) Salsa with That? - By Larry Henry

Imagine a warm tropical island resort, sailboats in the distance and palm trees swaying along the beach . . . (Do You Want) Salsa with That? is a lighthearted Latin tune that features your "star" player. The solo, written for almost every instrument, makes this a flexible selection for any group that gives students a chance to "get in front of the band." Your audience will love the Latin percussion instruments playing a mambo rhythm that will bring a smile to everyone's face. You can enhance the rhythm section to include almost any number of Latin instruments.

This is a timeless selection your audience will enjoy for years to come.

A Canadian Christmas - Traditional / arr. Vince Gassi

Get ready for an abundance of merriment! This work features carols that have been traditionally sung in Canada for many years and will help to create a spirit of mirth in no time. It opens with the joyous strains of "Il Est N Le Divin Enfant (He is Born, The Divine Child)" and continues with the plaintive and modal "Nol Nouvelet (Sing We Now of Christmas)." "The Huron Carol ('Twas In the Moon of Wintertime)" is then presented with remnants of "Nol Nouvelet" cleverly woven in. The dramatic conclusion develops brief dialogue between "Good King Wenceslas" and "Il Est N Le Divin Enfant" that brings the work to an exuberant and powerful close. Juxtaposing the lyrical and expressive with the joyous and cheerful in this masterful arrangement will add a little touch of Canada to your next holiday concert. (4:00)
