n Carol of the Bells/Greensleevesarr. 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!
10013391 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . 50.00
CelebrationChip Davis/arr. Longfield. The

the World. Festive and powerful!
