CHRISTMAS & HOLIDAY very easy & easy
Herald Angel Swing—arr. Mike Story. Mike
Story is one of the best at writing great charts for
young players. This one is based on Hark! The
Herald Angels Sing arranged with a swing feel. The
features include a written trumpet solo and easy
rhythms, ranges and textures, but Mike makes it
all sound full. This chart will come together quickly,
plus it includes optional, nontraditional jazz band
parts. Feature your young players with this nice,
laid-back swing chart on your holiday concert!

H Hot Chocolate (from "The Polar Express")—
Alan Silvestri/arr. Mike Lewis. From the movie "The
Polar Express," Hot Chocolate is hot stuff! A fun
swinger in a jump style, it's loaded with energy,
based on the original recording and has been
skillfully adapted for the young player. There are no
solos, the ranges are modest and a driving bass line
makes it move along. To make this chart flexible for
all year, the arranger offers two endings: one with
a clever and effective modulation to a Jingle Bells
quote and one without. Highly recommended!

familiar melody. There are brief written solos
for trumpet, tenor, alto, and trombone, effective
ensemble passages, and a swing style tempo
around 136 bpm. It's also playable with optional
reduced or expanded instrumentations. This is a
well-written chart that will have terrific band and
audience appeal!

Mike Story. Based on The First Noel, this is a very
clever jazz waltz treatment (with a little 4/4 thrown
in) of this holiday favorite arranged by Mike Story
that swings loose and big! Written-out solos for
alto sax and trumpet as well as easy ranges and
rhythms throughout make this chart an outstanding
choice. A must-have for your holiday program!

chart will sound terrific with almost any group!

This hard-hitting rock version of Joy to the World will
bring down the house at winter or holiday concerts.
The fully-scored ensemble writing is well within the

crowd-pleaser for more mature players with limited
rehearsal time. An optional solo section includes
written solos, and the chart sounds great even with
optional limited instrumentations. Rock your band
