Christmas &
Holiday Selections
Medium-Easy
All I Want for Christmas Is You—Carey &
Afanasieff/arr. John Berry. Originally recorded
by Mariah Carey in 1994, this upbeat Christmas
favorite has become a holiday staple year after year.
John Berry provides a great sounding and accessible
version in a straight-ahead medium swing style with
the melody traded around from section to section.
No solos are required. Highly recommended!

All Is Calm, All Is Bright—Franz Gruber/arr. Blair
Bielawski. Here is a fresh take on Silent Night for
your jazz ensemble that brings colorful harmonies
to the classic carol. Featuring a warm trumpet solo,
this lyrical selection will make the perfect ballad for
your next winter concert.

A Big Band Christmas I—arr. Carl Strommen.
This solid arrangement is a quality chart for the
holidays that won't take too long to prepare!
A crowd-pleasing medley of all-time favorite
Christmas carols in a variety of jazz styles and
tempos, this piece includes a swingin' Jingle Bells;
O Come All Ye Faithful as a jazz chorale; We Three
Kings as a jazz waltz; and The Twelve Days Of
Christmas. This is the only Christmas arrangement
you will need this year!
2402907 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .52.00
Big Band Holiday—arr. Carl Strommen. Great
popular holiday standards, an accessible
arrangement that will sound great with a few
rehearsals and a variety of styles make this medley
the ideal holiday concert chart! There are brief,
notated solos for 2nd trombone and 1st alto sax
with plenty of ensemble playing throughout. Three
of these tunes are arranged in a swing style at
different tempos and a ballad is included for added
variety. There are options for reduced or expanded
instrumentations. This winning medley includes: I'll
Be Home for Christmas; Santa Claus is Coming to
Town; Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas and
Frosty the Snowman. Highly recommended!
10028071 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .48.00
Big Noise from the North Pole—arr. Mike
Collins-Dowden. Jingle Bells meets Big Noise
from Winnetka, complete with minor key and the
drummer laying down a Krupa groove! It swings
hard from top to bottom, has no solos, and is
very clever. With limited brass ranges, this
arrangement is playable by groups of almost any
age and provides a great way to feature a drummer.
This chart will be the most fun you have playing a
Christmas tune all year! Highly recommended!
10517403 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .50.00
A Charlie Brown Christmas—Vince Guaraldi/
arr. Paul Murtha. Vince Guaraldi's music provided
a level of jazz sophistication for the popular Charlie
Brown television specials, and his holiday offerings
were some of the best! This appealing medley
includes Linus and Lucy; Skating; O Tannenbaum
and Christmas Time is Here. Highly recommended
as the hit of the season!
2702201 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .50.00
A Child Is Born—Thad Jones/arr. John Denton.
This wonderful jazz standard by Thad Jones moves
smoothly through a few styles - first as a ballad, then
as a moderate jazz waltz, then as a bossa in four,
and back to the jazz waltz feel - all the while keeping
the beauty and integrity of the original. Written or
ad lib solos are for alto sax and trumpet. Gorgeous
chord voicings and tasty contrapuntal lines support
this beautiful tune in a very tasteful way!
2701948 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .52.00
A Chili Pepper Christmas—arr. Doug Beach &
George Shutack. Though it took some time and
effort to convince the famous "Chili Pepper" to
tackle the concept of holiday music, it's finally a
reality! Featuring three great classics, I Saw Three
Ships, Angels We Have Heard on High, and Jingle
Bells, this samba style medley at the medium
level is a joyous celebration of the holidays. While
improvisation is encouraged, sheets with written
solo lines for both open sections are included.
Highly recommended!
10345366 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .55.00
Christmas Favorites—arr. Blair Bielawski.
A value-packed addition to your seasonal
programming, this set includes four complete
arrangements in contrasting styles. Included are
unique arrangements of Hark, The Herald Angels
Sing; Joy to the World; Go Tell It on the Mountain
and We Wish You a Merry Christmas.
11198745 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .55.00
First Funky Noel—Erik Sherburne. This funky
version of a holiday favorite is accessible to younger
bands and will be a hit at your holiday concert. With
ad-lib solos for the winds, you will be able to give
your students a good opportunity for improvisation.
11206072 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .50.00
Gettin' Funky on the Housetop—Erik Sherburne.
Here is a funky take on the holiday classic Up on the
Housetop! Arranged for jazz ensemble, this chart is
great for your group to bring to the holiday concert.
The crowd and your players will love this!
11399419 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .50.00
Greensleeves—arr. Les Sabina. A.K.A. What
Child Is This?, Greensleeves is a great chart for the
holidays or any season! Arranged here as a light
and airy jazz waltz, the features include a suggested
or improvised alto sax solo, a tempo of 158 bpm, a
lead trumpet range to written A above the staff, and
an optional reduced instrumentation scoring. Great
for developing jazz bands and easy to rehearse and
perform. Check it out!
11198976 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .50.00
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas—arr.
Alan Baylock. As recorded by the USAF Airmen of
Note and arranged by Alan Baylock in the style of Li'l
Darlin', this slow swing chart is an ideal selection for
the holidays. It features no improvised solos but it has
a written trumpet melody solo, lead trumpet range
to written G on top of the staff, and it's technically
a very easy chart to play. Get the slow groove, and
it's a lock! Another superb Baylock arrangement,
this chart will be the centerpiece of any holiday
performance! Our highest recommendation! Option
expanded instrumentation.
10093165 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .52.00
(There's No Place Like) Home for the Holidays
—arr. John Wasson. Few holiday songs have had
the staying power and popularity of this familiar
classic, known primarily from the recordings by
Perry Como in the 1950s but also The Carpenters
in 1984. Here is a lush and easy-flowing bossa-
nova setting sure to get everyone into the holiday
spirit. With written or improvised solos for alto sax
and flugelhorn, this will be a memorable addition to
any Christmas performance. Highly recommended!
11105132 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .45.00
I Saw Three Ships—arr. Ryan Fraley.
Understated, straight-ahead swing a la Dave
Brubeck meets traditional English Christmas carol.
There's mostly full-ensemble playing with a brief,
written trumpet solo, cued for trombone. Features
drums played with brushes and optional bells. The
brass create some great color with muted playing.
The top trumpet note is G5. A charming addition to
your holiday library.
