n This Christmas—arr. John Berry.

This solid arrangement gives all the sections an opportunity with the melody and includes a suggested or improvised solo for alto sax. Great change of pace programming for the holidays! 10033694 Jazz Ensemble .......... .45.00
n The Twelve Days of Christmas—arr. Paul Clark. Everybody in the band gets their own special
arrangement of the familiar tune. The melody gets traded off from section to section in a fairly predictable way until it's the piano players turn. Then things change abruptly and some funky fun begins. This leads to an open solo section over only two chords, and the background parts sound so good you could even omit the solos if desired. A few bars of piano sets up the melody again, this time in a canon, which leads to a big ending. At least 12 days of creativity in one fun and easy to prepare chart! Highly recommended! 10281886 Jazz Ensemble .......... .48.00
