ock the Halls!—arr. Paul Clark. Here's
Deck the Halls with a Santa-rock modal
flavor! This very approachable holiday chart
features exciting ensemble sections, an easy
open solo section over two chords, and an
instantly recognizable melody. This is quite
playable with very little rehearsal and will
go together quickly. Give Santa a horn and
let him wail! Highly recommended!

Mike Lewis. Santa's coming to town, and he's
swingin' all the way! Mike Lewis has taken
this holiday chestnut and wrapped it up to fit
squarely at the easy level. Easy swing figures,
and effectively written solos for tenor sax

Mike Story. Everyone knows this fun song from
Dr. Seuss' "How the Grinch Stole Christmas."
Mike Story puts it right in the pocket for young
players with a vampy, medium swing chart
that features the familiar melody, easy written
solos and modest ranges. Scored for full jazz
ensemble, it will also sound great with an
optional reduced instrumentation of 3 saxes, 2
trumpets, 1 trombone and 3 rhythm. Optional
parts are included for expanded instrumentation.
Highly recommended!

H nd the Angels Swing!—arr. Paul Clark.

You won't find a better chart for your holiday
or winter concert than this one! A medley
that contains three famous Christmas carols
that have "Angels" in the title, it begins with a
medium swing version of Hark the Herald Angels
Sing that features the whole ensemble. The next
section is Angels from the Realms of Glory which
is at a slower tempo in a ballad style and begins
with a short, written solo by either trombone or
tenor sax. The medley ends with an exciting up
tempo version of Angels We Have Heard on High
that features the whole band. This chart sounds
great, has lots of audience appeal and it's not
too difficult, so it won't take up a lot of your
rehearsal time. Very highly recommended!

Silent Night—arr. Paul Clark. What a gorgeous
arrangement! Paul Clark arranges Silent Night
exactly the way it should be... as a pretty
ballad in 3/4 loaded with luscious chords, a
smooth written solo and a quiet ending that's
as pretty as starlight. Playable with reduced
instrumentation and perfect for younger
bands, this tune is so pretty that advanced
bands will appreciate having this in their
folders for that last-minute holiday gig!

e Wish You a Merry Christmas—arr. Paul
Clark. This familiar carol never sounded like this
before! It's a straight-ahead rock chart that's
really accessible, and there's even an open solo
section over an easy two-chord vamp if desired.
An especially nice effect is an eight-bar a
cappella chorale section before the original style
returns and takes it on home to the finale. This
one will be a big hit on your holiday concert!

laid-back jazz waltz treatment of the popular

A
way in a Manger—arr. Terry White. This
arrangement is a beautiful and sensitive
treatment of this superb Christmas classic.
In a medium jazz waltz style, it begins with a
mysterious alto 1 melody, then transitions to the
full ensemble, followed by a written or ad lib tenor
sax solo. Swinging slightly harder, the chart then
modulates into the final ensemble shout section.
The lead trumpet range is to written G on top of
the staff and it's playable with optional expanded
instrumentation. Sweet, tasteful, hip, yet
reverent, this is perfect change of pace holiday
programming. Highly recommended!
