This arrangement starts with a slow statement of the melody, then starts swinging at very laid-back tempo, and finally moves to a faster, more lively tempo before ending broadly. It's the old New Orleans funeral routine--slow to the cemetery, and up-beat on the way back. There's plenty of call and response, and I think you'll enjoy the harmonies and the "improvised" lines. The arrangement is suitable for professionals or advanced amateurs. Please give the MP3 a listen. Duration: 2 minutes, 25 seconds.

Here's a fun-to-play, entertaining arrangement of one of the best-known winter holiday tunes. Published in 1857 as ?One Horse Open Sleigh? and re-titled ?Jingle Bells, or the One Horse Open Sleigh? in 1859, James Lord Pierpont's (1822-1893) composition has since become a Christmas-time favorite. This arrangement begins with a ballad-like statement of the verse, followed by verse-chorus-verse in a Latin/pop style and concluding with a swing chorus and Ellington ending. �Copyright2012 Todd Marchand / www.ConSpiritoMusic.com
