l Carol of the Bells (Flexible
Instrumentation)—Mykola Leontovich/
arr. Carol Brittin Chambers. This fun, fresh,
and flexible arrangement of a beloved holiday
classic can be played with as few as five wind
or string players! The recognizable motifs are
passed around the ensemble, giving everyone
something interesting to play. Energetic
grooves are incorporated with the bass line
and percussion as well as a new B section
melody that adds extra technique and a fresh
sound. Students and audiences will love this
fresh take on the classic in your next holiday
concert, and educators will love the attention
to pedagogical details. Use this piece to
introduce or reinforce steady pulse in a driving
3/4 meter, definition of ostinato, accidentals
(minimal), and syncopated feel (minimal).
