He Christmas Classics—arr. John O'Reilly. Here's
the "heavy" number for your Christmas concert this
year! Beginning with the march from Tchaikovsky's
"Nutcracker Suite," this medley follows with
Bizet's March Of The Three Kings and concludes
with Handel's Hallelujah Chorus. This is superb
Christmas programming for strings alone, but will
be greatly enhanced by the effective but optional
wind and percussion parts.

the humorous hit of your holiday concert!

annual tradition for kids and adults alike. This

e O Come, O Come Emmanuel—Jack Bullock.
One of the most revered songs of Advent, this
plaintive melody with mixed three and four

melody and message is always current during
the holiday season and this arrangement can be
played by strings with piano or by full orchestra.
Rejoice!

wonderful use of all of your players. A perfect
holiday choice!

magical sounds of childhood sprinkled over the
top, this piece is a true holiday gem!
