Carol of the Bells (Flexible Instrumen-
tation)—Mykola Leontovich/arr. Carol
Brittin Chambers. This fun, fresh, and
flexible arrangement of a beloved holiday
classic can be played with as few as five

motifs are passed around the ensemble,
giving everyone something interesting to
play. Energetic grooves are incorporated
with the bass line and percussion, and a
new B-section melody adds extra technique
and a fresh sound. Students and audiences
will love this fresh take on the classic at your
next holiday concert, and educators will love
the attention to pedagogical detail. Use this
piece to introduce or reinforce steady pulse
in a driving 3/4 meter, definition of ostinato,
accidentals (minimal), and syncopated
feel (minimal).
