Christmas & Holiday Selections | Medium-Easy
Jingle Bells—arr. Sammy Nestico. This
Basie-era swing arrangement of a holiday
classic is adapted here by Peter Blair
for your modern middle or high school
jazz groups. A Basie-style piano solo
introduction leads into trombone interplay
with rhythmic bite, building toward a
buoyant, swinging melody. Authentic style
is preserved while ranges and demands
stay comfortable. An engaging way to bring
classic Basie vocabulary to a contemporary
winter concert with younger players in mind.

Kris Kringle's Bringin' the Jingle—
James Pierpont/arr. Tyler Arcari. You've
never heard Jingle Bells like this! After a
slow swing intro, the chart goes into a New
Orleans second-line groove that alternates
with straight-ahead swing. This chart will be
a holiday hit!

Mary Did You Know?—arr. Rich Sigler.
This extremely popular contemporary
Christmas standard has been set here for
developing jazz ensembles as a beautiful
rock ballad to be played around 98 bpm.
The opening melody is written to feature
a tenor saxophonist on this tender ballad.
The lead trumpet range is to written F top
line, and optional parts are included for
flute, clarinet, and vibes. A very sweet and
appropriate chart for the holiday season,
this will be the centerpiece of your holiday
or winter concert!

Mighty Christmas Angels—arr. Tim
Waters. This modern rock treatment of
Hark! The Herald Angels Sing is a lot of
fun and offers some exciting jazz ensemble
writing while remaining playable so you can
work it up in time for the holiday concert.
The solo section has room for an ad-lib solo
from alto, tenor, or trumpet, followed by a
powerful statement of the melody before
getting back into the original groove to close
out the tune. A strong choice for developing
ensembles looking for an easy-to-learn
chart for their next holiday performance.

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year—
arr. Paul Murtha. Composed in 1963 and
initially recorded by Andy Williams, this
holiday favorite has remained immensely
popular through the years and has been
recorded by countless artists. Treated
here in a light jazz-waltz style, this chart
for developing players adds a nice festive
touch to any holiday or winter concert.
Highly recommended!

O Tannenbaum—arr. Michele Fernandez.
A Cuban cha-cha-cha arrangement of
O, Christmas Tree in 4/4? Yes it is! This
out-of-the-box setting of one of the most
beloved Christmas songs has it all. Fun and
accessible parts for all sections, detailed
percussion scoring, a killer shout chorus,
and a groove that will make it impossible
to sit still. Open solo section. Lead trumpet
plays up to A, and lead trombone plays up to
F. A guaranteed favorite on every program!

O Tannenbaum—Traditional/arr. Pinkzebra.
This medium-swing arrangement of the
holiday classic blends nostalgic big band
Christmas sounds with a fresh 5/4 groove,
creating a feel-good chart full of Christmas
spirit that will shine in a December concert.
Written solo features are included for
trombone, tenor sax, alto sax, trumpet, and
piano, plus a written or optional ad-lib solo
for tenor sax. A free ad-lib solo practice track
is available for this arrangement – it features
the full band heard in the demo recording
during the solo section minus the soloist.

Retro Rockin' Christmas—arr. George
Shutack. Holiday classics meet
contemporary Latin grooves in this jazz band
medley combining We Three Kings and
Deck the Halls. A layered Latin rock opening
grows into a trombone soli and shifts to a
half-time funk feel for a full ensemble shout,
then drives forward with a key change
and rock energy for the final section. Style
changes and syncopation sharpen ensemble
focus while keeping the spirit festive. A lively
choice for high school groups needing a
fresh and engaging winter concert feature.
