C
arol of the Bells/Greensleeves—arr. Larry
Clark. Here's the arrangement your audience
will be talking about! These two holiday hits
flow together so naturally, they seem made to
be together! Set in A minor, the music begins
with a dramatic build-up into the Carol of the
Bells. The repetitive motive is given to violas and
seconds while first violins play a quieter pizzicato
that matches the descending bass line in the
low strings. Suddenly and without fanfare, the
Greensleeves melody arrives, being played by
the celli. From this point on the two Christmas
favorites intertwine in surprising and creative
ways, each making the other more appealing!
