in response to the high school music selections, there is a new 
chanukkah series printed by Transcontinental Music Publications 
specifically for high school choirs. comissioned and edited by the 
Westminster Conservatory Youth Chorale, it's wonderful ORIGINAL good 
(and challenging) music. hope this helps...
