Holiday Selections
Beginning Band
6-Note Santa—Joseph Compello. This version
of Jolly Old Saint Nicholas is perfect for your
beginning band's first winter or holiday concert.
The entire composition is based on the first six
notes of the concert B-flat scale, and every
instrument gets a chance to play the melody.
The only instrument that plays eighth notes is
the snare drum, so rhythmic demands are kept
to a minimum to ensure student success. Try
this for a jolly good time!

Angels We Have Heard on High—arr.
Michael Story. This arrangement of the popular
French Christmas carol has been written with
young students in mind. It's scored using just
the first few notes presented in most beginning
band methods, has only quarter-, half-, and
whole-note rhythms in the winds, and is without
a written key signature. Your percussionists will
have opportunities for playing, and your lows
will even get some time on the melody!

Bad Elf!—arr. Bryce Newton. A humorous and
creative holiday selection combining Up on the
Housetop and Good King Wenceslas. Using
the first six notes introduced in most method
books, here is a piece that is educational
and fun for your musicians' first holiday
performance. The limited instrumentation
works well for more mature groups with limited
rehearsal time. Festive and entertaining!

A Celtic Christmas—Douglas Wagner. This

young players.

the peaceful conclusion. A most appealing
seasonal selection with a multicultural flair.
