Christmas & Holiday
4 Carol of the Bellsarr. Rich DeRosa/adpt. Bob
Curnow. This magnificent scoring of Carol of the
Bells by Rich DeRosa was part of a long overture
originally commissioned by the WDR Big Band. Bob
Curnow has adapted the score in two versions to
allow for the traditional jazz ensemble to perform
a contemporary setting that will be a wonderful
addition to any big band Christmas performance.
The Pro Version is seven minutes in duration and
includes improvised solos for alto saxophone and
trumpet. The Edited Version is five minutes long
and is exactly the same except there are no solos.
These stellar charts are full of lush harmonies and
exceptional writing!

l Chanukah Joy (Variations on Ma'oz Tzur)
arr. Rick Hirsch. This joyous jazz waltz at about
190 bpm is one of the very few big band
Chanukah arrangements. Almost everyone gets
a short written solo, and tenor sax and trombone
soloists will get to stretch out with suggested or
improvised solos. Instrumentation: 5 saxes, 5
trumpets, 4 trombones (3 tenors, 1 bass), guitar,
piano, bass, and drums with optional parts for
flute, vibes and horn in F.

H A Charlie Brown ChristmasVince Guaraldi/
arr. Paul Murtha. Vince Guaraldi's music provided
a level of jazz sophistication for the popular Charlie
Brown television specials, and his holiday offerings
were some of the best! This appealing medley
includes Linus and Lucy; Skating; O Tannenbaum
and Christmas Time is Here. Highly recommended
as the hit of the season!

H A Child Is BornThad Jones/arr. John Denton.
This wonderful jazz standard by Thad Jones
moves smoothly through a few styles - first as a
ballad, then as a moderate jazz waltz, then as a
bossa in four, and back to the jazz waltz feel - all
the while keeping the beauty and integrity of the
original. Written or ad lib solos are for alto sax
and trumpet. Gorgeous chord voicings and tasty
contrapuntal lines support this beautiful tune in a
very tasteful way!

n A Child Is BornThad Jones/arr. Mike Carubia.
Thad Jones' most popular and unforgettable
composition will provide your players with a
great ballad experience. Mike Carubia's tasteful
arrangement captures all the charm of the original
without the difficulty, and features a written piano
and optional flute melody to start the second
chorus. Also appropriate for holiday performances,
A Child is Born will capture the hearts of your
audiences and the young musicians who play this
soulful tune. Highly recommended!

A Chili Pepper Christmasarr. Doug Beach &
George Shutack. Though it took some time and
effort to convince the famous "Chili Pepper" to
tackle the concept of holiday music, it's finally a
reality! Featuring three great classics, I Saw Three
Ships, Angels We Have Heard on High, and Jingle
Bells, this samba style medley at the medium
level is a joyous celebration of the holidays. While
improvisation is encouraged, sheets with written
solo lines for both open sections are included.
Highly recommended!

H A Christmas Fantasy for Jazz BandPaul
Clark. This very creative arrangement based
upon What Child is This? and O Come, O Come
Emmanuel will make a wonderful addition to holiday
concerts. With very few exceptions, the horn parts
amazingly never play anything more complicated
than quarter notes and the ranges are very
reasonable, yet the sound is huge and impressive.
For musical contrast, there are short written solos
for piano, alto, trumpet, and a short duet for both
altos accompanied by a driving, "steamroller"
rock feel. It's also playable with an optional
reduced instrumentation of 3 saxes, 3 trumpets,
1 trombone and 3 rhythm. Totally awesome and
highly recommended!

in the '40s and originally recorded by the Andrews

medium swing style with cool voicings for younger
jazz bands.

Christmas Time Is HereVince Guaraldi/arr.
David Pugh. This ever-popular Christmas song from
the "Charlie Brown Christmas" television special is
also a great jazz ballad. The chord changes are very
lush and any band can put this one together in a
