H Baby, It's Cold Outside—Frank Loesser/
arr. Rick Stitzel. This familiar standard is usually
performed as a duet. It's been recorded countless
times over the years, notably in the holiday movie
favorite "Elf" starring Will Ferrell. This charming
arrangement for beginning players features
the saxes and trumpets in the answering duet
phrases. No solos are required; however, an alto
soloist could be used in one of the soli sections.
This will sound great with limited rehearsal time,
and will be a perfect holiday concert feature!

"steamroller" rock feel. It's also playable with
