Suite")—arr. Paul Clark. What's a holiday
concert performance without something from the

anybody (on just one chord) and a driving rock
beat that puts your rhythm section right at home.
This will make for a memorable performance at
your holiday concerts! Highly recommended!

This Christmas—Donny Hathaway/arr. John
Berry. Recorded by Donny Hathaway in 1970
and covered countless times since then, this
appealing and enduring pop hit features a funky,
upbeat rock style and is very approachable by
developing groups. This solid arrangement gives
all the sections an opportunity with the melody
and includes a suggested or improvised solo for
alto sax. Great change of pace programming for
the holidays!

4 Three Guys (We Three Kings)—arr. Bob
Turner. Three Guys is a jazz/rock/funk take on We
Three Kings and is taken directly from the highly
successful flexible instrumentation small group
chart with the same title. The guitar fills and solo
are written and can be played as is or improvised.
Chord symbols are written into the solo section
so any player can take a ride. A great chart for
any holiday or winter concert!

Trombones Under the Tree—Paul Clark.
Three carols that everyone will know are
included in this easy to prepare medley of Joy
to the World, The First Noel and Jingle Bells
that features the trombone section! No matter
how many trombones you have, it works great
with a featured trombone quartet, trio, duet...
or even solo trombone! It's an effective and fun
arrangement that brings your trombones out front
to add variety and cheer at holiday and winter
concerts. Everyone will be talking about it on their
way home! Very highly recommended!

The Twelve Days of Christmas—arr. Paul
Clark. Everybody in the band gets their own
special "day" in this creative holiday rock
arrangement of the familiar tune. The melody
gets traded off from section to section in a fairly
predictable way until it's the piano players turn.
Then things change abruptly and some funky fun
begins. This leads to an open solo section over
only two chords, and the background parts sound
so good you could even omit the solos if desired.
A few bars of piano sets up the melody again, this
time in a canon, which leads to a big ending. At
least 12 days of creativity in one fun and easy to
prepare chart! Highly recommended!

Two Front Teeth—Don Gardner/arr. Paul Baker.
You, your band and their audiences will enjoy this
clever chart on this familiar holiday novelty tune.
After the full ensemble rubato introduction, the
medium tempo samba kicks in with altos and
trumpets, then the melody is bounced around to
all sections. After a Montuna interlude, there are
2nd trumpet written solos with only two chords
to keep it accessible for developing players, a
sax soli, a written 2nd trombone solo, then a big
shout chorus and out to the fun finish. It's also
playable with optional expanded instrumentation.
Something different...a clever samba based on
this holiday standard. Highly recommended!

White Christmas (Little Big Band)—Irving
Berlin/arr. Mark Taylor. Enhance any holiday
performance with this smooth, light bossa
treatment of perhaps Irving Berlin's most popular
song. Scored for six horns (3 saxes, 2 trumpets, 1
trombone) and rhythm section, this arrangement
will sound great with a limited amount of
rehearsal time. For further instrumentation
options, additional parts are included for alto,
tenor and trombone. Very highly recommended!
