This will be the star of your next holiday program! 11615391 String Orchestra. . . . . . . . . . . . . 55.00 The North Pole Express—arr. Kathryn Griesinger. Take a sparkling ride through the snow aboard an express train headed straight for the North Pole. In this Grade 2 holiday arrangement, developing players will "travel" through several holiday tunes including Jingle Bells; Deck the Halls; Jolly Old St. Nicholas; Good King Wenceslas; O Christmas Tree and We Wish You a Merry Christmas. Students can work on staccato bow technique, easy dotted rhythms, and low second- and low first-finger patterns, all while staying in first position.

This clever work uses the popular Christmas carols Jingle Bells and Up on the Housetop as a backdrop. Pocketed around the original polka, the carols peak out from behind the pine branches like ornaments. Your musicians and audiences will have a lot of fun with this one! 11562315 String Orchestra. . . . . . . . . . . . . 60.00 Polar Vortex—Katie O'Hara LaBrie. Cold air spins and an arctic chill sets in: a polar vortex has arrived. This work for multilevel orchestra encapsulates this wintery weather phenomenon through its driving D dorian tune, biting spiccato, and swirling motives. Perform the A parts (Grade 3) on their own, or add in multiple levels to include even your youngest beginners. 11583970 String Orchestra Multi-Level . . . 85.00 Santa the Barbarian—Randall 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! 11621741 String Orchestra. . . . . . . . . . . . . 55.00 A Silent Night in Scarborough—arr. Tyler Arcari. Scarborough Fair and Silent Night are wonderfully blended in this wonderful arrangement that is perfect for your next holiday concert. 11562029 String Orchestra. . . . . . . . . . . . . 55.00 Snow Dance—Erica Donahoe. Great for winter- time concerts or throughout the year, this beautifully written new work by composer Erica Donahoe evokes the joy of twirling about as the first few flecks of snow start to dot the horizon. A nostalgic and fun new work for the developing string ensemble! 11615390 String Orchestra. . . . . . . . . . . . . 55.00 Snowflake—Yukiko Nishimura. Floating and delicate, this gorgeous piece features long melody lines and plenty of sustaining harmonies. It evokes the feeling of taking a walk during a gentle snowfall. Violin 1 leads with the main melody as the other sections have an inner melody. Each line should be played espressivo at all times. A stunning selection for winter concerts. 10093756 String Orchestra. . . . . . . . . . . . . 55.00 String Orchestra | Easy Browse a collection of over 300,000 titles, available for instant digital delivery. jwpepper.com/eprint Instant Sheet Music Delivery
