God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen—arr. Paul
Clark. This hip arrangement lets the audience
experience the traditional carol in a cool rock
treatment. There's no solos in this one and brass
ranges are quite modest, so you'll find it comes
together quite easily for that first concert of
the year. There's even a guitar help sheet to
make sure all members of your rhythm section
sound their best.

Carol of the Bells—arr. Paul Clark. Take a familiar holiday classic, give it to a creative
arranger, and you get a hard-driving rock chart that's filled with instrumental and dynamic
contrasts. After an attention-grabbing introduction, a few bars of the melody are played quietly
in 3/4. Then it's straight-ahead rock in 4/4! The open solo section for any instrument has
only two chords, and the chart works fine even if the solo section is omitted. The trumpets
never leave the staff, and it's playable with optional limited instrumentation. It's the perfect
"something different" for holiday concerts!
