Siegler, Peder Knudsen & Ernst Anschutz.
Spend Christmas on the high seas! The piece
begins with a joyful jig and sleigh bells to
portray the joy of sailing and the kids waiting
for Captain Santa to arrive. The second violins
then play a Norwegian carol, Jeg er saa glad
hver Julekveld, which translates to "I am so
happy every Christmas Eve." The piece then
sails into O Tannenbaum, including a section
when the melody skillfully moves into minor
mode. Excellent for teaching 6/8 and col legno.

jaunty setting.

tone production in the key of C major. This
peaceful setting will be a wonderful addition to
your winter concert.
11401180 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . .55.00

(and somewhat crazy!) selection will be the

be delighted when they hear what happens
when the festive Welsh carol Deck the Halls is
combined with the dark and mysterious In the
Hall of the Mountain King from Grieg's "Peer
Gynt Suite." Many key playing skills including
accidentals, tempo changes, and important
balance issues are reinforced throughout.
Sleigh bells and crash cymbals add just the
right amount of color to this fun, good-natured
seasonal work.

A Forest Snowfall—David Bobrowitz/ed.
J. Cameron Law. This moving original work

independence. A perfect addition to a well-
rounded holiday program!

Hanukkah Habanera—arr. Tim McCarrick.
"Carmen" meets Hanukkah in this remarkably
clever combination of The Dreidel Song;
Hanukkah, O Hanukkah and Bizet's famous
Habanera from his most famous opera! It
all works amazingly well, with shifts from
minor to major, a seamless bass line, and
lots of tongue-in-cheek humor! What a hoot!
Highly recommended!

Happy-Snappy Tippy-Tappy Elves—Nicolas
Repetto. What's that tapping sound? It's

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas—
Hugh Martin & Ralph Blane/arr. Carrie Lane
Gruselle. A perennial holiday favorite, this
lush arrangement has a rich sound yet is
surprisingly playable. Melodies are thoughtfully
woven throughout the ensemble amid modern
harmonies and easy chromatics. At the same
time, it offers plenty of opportunities to work on
dynamic sensitivity and vibrato on longer notes.
Absolutely lovely. (2:45)
11511817 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . .60.00
How the Grinch Stole Christmas—arr. Jerry
Brubaker. As both a film and a cartoon, "How
the Grinch Stole Christmas" has become
an annual tradition for kids and adults alike.
This arrangement begins with a bluesy, nasty
version of You're a Mean One, Mister Grinch,
then moves into the happier, more hopeful
Welcome Christmas ("He Carves the Roast
Beast" or "Fa-hoo For-aze"). This will really
stop the show!
2467033 String or Full Orchestra . . .70.00
In Winter—Antonio Vivaldi/arr. Todd Parrish.
This creative arrangement develops the iconic
rhythmic motif from first movement of Vivaldi's
Winter from "The Four Seasons." Arpeggiated
patterns in the lower strings realize the
implied harmonies from the original score,
spreading this energetic rhythm throughout
all the sections of the orchestra. Students will
have the opportunity to refine staccato bow
technique and play with balance between
parts in the key of G minor, with just a few easy
accidentals. This imaginative take on a classic
winter theme is suitable for winter concerts or
any other time of year.
