l Four Character Dances from the Nutcracker
P.I. Tchaikovsky/arr. Michael Hopkins. The
complete "Nutcracker" is performed every year
during the Christmas season, and the orchestral
suite is also a holiday favorite. This accessible
arrangement for string orchestra contains four
popular character dances from Act II of the ballet,
where Clara and the Prince travel to the Land of
Sweets that is ruled by the Sugar-Plum Fairy. These
light pieces of dance music celebrate sweets from
around the world and include chocolate from Spain,
coffee from Arabia, tea from China and candy
canes from Russia.

H 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!

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!
