Deck the Halls with Jingle Bells—arr. Rich
DeRosa. It would be difficult to find a more ideal
holiday chart than this arrangement by Rich
DeRosa. It begins with a powerful, jubilant fanfare
that seamlessly melds into a fun calypso style.
Interweaving melodic lines from two holiday favorites
abound as the audience is taken on an ingenious
musical journey with a brief visit to a half-time funk
feel. There's ample solo space with cued background
figures for piano and baritone sax to share their
festive spirit. A must-have for the holiday season!

and foot stomps, it builds throughout and features
a written alto solo and a lead trumpet range to

originally written for the USAF Airmen of Note, this
jazz waltz will work for the holidays or any season...
it's outstanding!

Go Tell It on the Mountain—arr. Mat Montgomery.
Add some funk to your holiday program with this
soulful arrangement of the Christmas spiritual Go
Tell It on the Mountain. Featuring the baritone sax
player on partially written and improvised solos, it's
loaded with gospel-inspired elements and style. The
improvised solo section is over only one chord, and a
blues scale can effectively be used most of the time.
Your students will thank you for this opportunity to
get on down and play this chart for Christmas and
holiday performances!

the lower instruments play together in a unison
passage. There are two solo sections allowing for
the featuring of several players in the group with
a lot of built-in flexibility. All solos are written and
also include chord changes. A chart-specific guitar
chord sheet is included with fretboard diagrams,
chord symbols and notated chords. A nice
change-up for Christmas programs!

Neeck. This breezy, swinging arrangement in 3/4
meter, of the classic carol It Came Upon a Midnight
Clear will be a hit on any Christmas or winter
concert! The melodies are nicely stated over colorful
unison lines and some punchy brass support. The
change-of-pace middle section is established by
the insistent tom-tom rhythm (a la Krupa), while
the band builds up the riffs to a powerful climax.

solo changes will encourage students to give
improvising a try. It's also playable with optional
reduced instrumentation. This very appealing
holiday chart is perfect for that jazz moment in your
