Two Winter Sketches (The Holly and the Ivy -
Jingle Bells)—arr. Brian Balmages. A thoughtful
interlude comprising two traditional songs: The
Holly and the Ivy and Jingle Bells. But don't
be fooled by the titles, Brian Balmages'
arrangement focuses less on the melodies of the
holiday warhorses and more on the underlying
harmonies by inverting the melodies and
conventional rhythms.

major scale. Fun and educational, it's perfect for
your string orchestra's first holiday performance.

limited rehearsal time!

Christmas in Brandenburg—J.S. Bach/arr. Larry
Clark. Imagine, if you will, that Bach decided to
infuse the popular Christmas carols Angels We
Have Heard on High; Jingle Bells and Joy to the
World into the fabric of his famous Brandenburg
Concerto No. 3. That is the idea behind this
arrangement: to seamlessly meld together the
popular carols by arranging them in the style of this
famous Bach work.
