Terry. Conjuring images of a radiant street
light in a sea of snowy flecks on a cold

falling snow in a gust of wind. This one's out
of the park!

Fantasia on Ukrainian Bell Carol—arr.
Susan H. Day. This popular holiday tune
has had many iterations. In this unique

altered way, with the familiar melodic
and rhythmic motifs passed around each

beautiful musical fantasy on the iconic

in style and dynamics throughout the work

heighten the mood.

Jolly Old St. Pachelbel—arr. Matthew

S a n t a t h e B a r b a r i a n — R a n d a l l
Standridge. Ho! Ho! Hurraaaaagh! The
jolly old elf from the North Pole gets an
aggressive makeover in this wonderfully
tongue-in-cheek work. Beginning with
narration in the style of a movie trailer,
Santa is reimagined as a warrior from the
winter wastelands as Up on the Housetop;
Jingle Bells and Jolly Old St. Nicholas are
given a barbaric twist. Sure to be the hit of
your next winter concert!
11521162 String Orchestra . . . . . 55.00
Short Ride in a Fast Sled—Sarah Siegler.
A nod to John Adams' well-known Short
Ride in a Fast Machine for your winter
concert. It presents a neat opportunity for
directors to show John Adams' famous
work to their students, as the two pieces
share several key elements: constant
woodblock, minimalism, and repetitive
dissonant ostinato patterns. After the
patterns (including sleigh bells!) set the
scene, a spirited holiday melody shows a
fast sled ready to move. Quotes from Deck
the Halls are dusted throughout, and all
sections have melodic and interesting parts
to play. Fun!

Snow Dance—Erica Donahoe. Great
for wintertime concerts or throughout the
year, this beautifully written new work by

snow start to dot the horizon. A nostalgic
and fun new work for the developing string
ensemble!
