Hanukkah Habaneraarr. Tim McCarrick.
"Carmen" meets Hanukkah in this remarkably
clever combination of The Dreidel Song; Hanukkah,
O Hanukkah and Bizet's famous Habanera from his
most famous opera! It all works amazingly well, with
shifts from minor to major, a seamless bass line,
and lots of tongue-in-cheek humor! What a hoot!
Highly recommended!

n How the Grinch Stole Christmasarr. Jerry
Brubaker. As both a film and a cartoon, "How the
Grinch Stole Christmas" has become an annual
tradition for kids and adults alike. This arrangement
begins with a bluesy, nasty version of You're a
Mean One, Mister Grinch, then moves into the
happier, more hopeful Welcome Christmas ("He
Carves the Roast Beast" or "Fa-hoo For-aze"). This
will really stop the show!

Little Christmas and Jingle Bell Rock, this medley

unique! This arrangement masterfully combines
the sultry Arabian Dance from Tchaikovsky's
"Nutcracker Suite" with We Three Kings of Orient
Are for a work that will amaze your audience. Calling
for a single percussionist using triangle, tambourine,
wind chimes and suspended cymbal, this is a
holiday selection that is certain to be memorable.
2474328 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 45.00
Merry Christmas, Cha, Cha, Cha!arr.
Deborah Baker Monday. Let the carolers sing
their "Fa la la's!" This year, finish your concert in
a Latin style with a Spanish-flavored setting of the
traditional We Wish You A Merry Christmas. Once
your audience hears the middle section quote the
folk tune La Bamba, there will be no stopping
them from clapping and dancing their way into the
holidays! Pure fun for all!
10280481 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 45.00
North Pole WorkshopDoug Spata. Imagine a
cheery tune Santa's elves might sing while making
Christmas toys! This fun polka for beginners stays
on the D and A strings, uses only the first finger
pattern, and is aimed at developing dexterity and
string-crossing skills in young musicians. Optional
percussion parts add the workshop sound effects
(including electric drill), but students will really enjoy
the catchy melodies that start quietly and build to a
rowdy finish. Cute!
10280362 String Orchestra,
Percussion Req. . . . . . . . . . 45.00
O Holy Nightarr. Robert W. Smith. This is just
gorgeous! Everyone knows this familiar carol, so
Robert W. Smith plays expertly with the audience's
expectations! He changes it just enough that you
can't help but be enthralled from start to finish!
There's a very effective "grand pause" and nice
dramatic buildup to the climactic close. Although
playable by string orchestra alone, the full orchestra
version makes wonderful use of all of your players.
A perfect holiday choice!

n Rest Ye Merry, Rock Ye Veryarr. Brian
Balmages. Inspired by the Trans-Siberian
Orchestra, this energetic arrangement of God Rest

part that really kicks things into high gear. Catchy

identity as ideas are layered, broken apart, and re-

arrangement is based on Hark! The Herald Angels
Sing and Bring a Torch, Jeannette, Isabella. As the

pulse. As the piece develops, pieces of the two carols
are increasingly woven together, shifting seamlessly
between the two at times. From the rhythmic opening
to the sweeping lines that ensue, this is certain to be
a memorable part of your winter program!
10066348 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 50.00
n Rock You Merry GentlemenJeffrey S. Bishop.
Syncopation in the cellos and basses drives this
rock interpretation of the well-known carol from
the mid-1700s. From the beginning d minor
introduction through the g minor modulation, the
eighth note pulse keeps the underlying drive,
especially through the 6/8 measures. Ideal for
young players or community groups, this one is
sure to be a holiday program hit!
10089697 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 45.00
n Rudolph, the Red Nosed ReindeerJohnny
Marks/arr. Morales. This is a great way to begin
a holiday concert! It's an energetic rendition of
the Christmas favorite with a Latin flavor to it.
Percussive staccato bowing imitates a "clave
rhythm" as the melody gets passed from section
to section.
2474327 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 50.00
n Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeerarr. Jack
Bullock. We all know the names of Santa's reindeer
for his annual trip. But it was Rudolph who saved
the night on that foggy Christmas Eve! This holiday
song, beloved for over sixty years, is now arranged
in a flexible setting. Perform with strings alone
or with the addition of piano and winds. A fun
arrangement that is sure to be programmed year
after year!
10348583 String Orch or Full Orch . . . 58.00
n S'vivonBen Clinesmith. Played mostly pizzicato,
this spirited arrangement of an Israeli folksong
is really fun to play. Even in cut-time, it's still
accessible for middle school groups and will add
variety to December holiday performances.
10089691 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 45.00
H
Santa at the SymphonyMark Williams. This
has been a big hit for concert band! Mark has
ingeniously blended classical music themes ("Eine
Kleine Nachtmusik"; "1812 Overture" and Brahms'
"First Symphony") with seasonal melodies (Silent
Night;, Jingle Bells and Nutcracker Suite) to create
an absolutely wonderful package of holiday fun. You
have to hear it to believe it!
2244747 String Orch or Full Orch . . . 60.00

familiar Johann Sebastian Bach melody will be
loved by one and all. Solidly scored for your strings
or full orchestra, the delicate melody will reinforce
the musicianship of the entire ensemble.
2478060 String Orch or Full Orch . . . 63.00
4 Sweet Petite Winter SuiteBrian Balmages.
This short four-movement suite pays homage to
the composer's favorite winter treats! A delightful,
spritely opening depicts Candy Canes before
moving into a heartwarming lyric movement to
portray Hot Chocolate. The playful Peppermint Bark
third movement has a dance-like quality with mixed
meter (4/4 and 3/4). The final movement runs as
fast as it can, depicting the Gingerbread Man
chased by a slew of holiday carols.
10454269 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 55.00

concert to life!

H
Troika (from "Lieutenant Kije")Sergei
Prokofiev/arr. Wieloszynski. This charming number
takes its name from a Russian sleigh called a
"troika," pulled by three horses and common in
wintertime. The melody is really quite familiar,
bright and bouncy as it evokes the sleigh. Parts are
carefully edited for school age players, and many
techniques are included, but can be omitted if too
hard. Optional percussion parts are included. This
would be a great choice for a wintertime concert!
2313955 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 52.00
