Theme: There's nothing better than a hot cup of cocoa on a cold winter's night.

Musical Value: A good way to practice diction, with placement of consonants c, t, h, n, s. 
Tricky chromatic melody for one measure toward the end.  
Practices use of the diaphragm - h,h,h,h,hot and c-c-c-c-cup.
Educational Value: This piece of music is a lot of fun to sing.  It is one of my all time favorite Holiday season songs - great to use if you live in an area where carols are not allowed in school.


Tonality: Eb major to E major tonality
Texture: two part song with piano accompaniment
Vocal range: 










Meter, Time Signature, Tempo: In 4-4 time with a quarter note = 132.  Tempo = spirited swing.
Performance time: 2:33 mins

Words:
