constructed setting featuring a flugelhorn soloist.
In a traditional ballad style, this arrangement
features tasteful accompaniment figures, creative
harmonies, and brief interludes of double-time
swing in the solo section.

Go Tell It on the Mountain—arr. Alan Baylock.
A creative and outstanding chart by Alan Baylock
on the traditional spiritual. Beginning with claps
and foot stomps, it builds throughout and features
a written alto solo and a lead trumpet range to
written B-flat above the staff. Adapted from a
chart 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!

God Rest Ye Mambo, Gentlemen—arr. Greg
Moody. This chart is a Latin treatment of the
familiar Christmas carol and focuses on carols in
a minor key. It also includes quotes from several
other Christmas tunes, also in minor keys. At
one point 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!

God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen—arr. Gordon
Goodwin. As recorded by Gordon Goodwin's Big
Phat Band, this hot chart features the saxophone
section in a chorale introduction, a full ensemble
swing at about mm 200, a sax soli, solo space
for alto, tenor, trumpet, trombone and piano,
a modulation and a big shout chorus. It's all
here, it's Gordon Goodwin... what else do you
need? Highly recommended!

Hallelujah Shout Chorus—George Frideric
Handel/arr. Mike Collins-Dowden. This chart is
both original and fun! Using themes from Handel's
"Messiah" woven throughout exciting big band
shout chorus writing, this chart is truly an inventive
take on a holiday classic! The solo section features
space for anyone in the band to play written or ad-
lib solos over B-flat blues changes. This will be
one for audiences to remember!

Hot Chocolate (from "The Polar Express")—
Ballard & Silvestri/arr. John Berry. Here is an
up-tempo and entertaining swing chart from the
hit movie "The Polar Express." Including crisp
ensemble writing with a sprinkling of band vocals,

any time of the year!

It Swings Upon a Midnight Clear—arr. Larry
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. Included suggested solos along
with modest 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 holiday concert!
