Skating from Vince Guaraldi's music for A Charlie Brown Christmas - set for flute quartet. Charlie Brown ice skates a lot like I do. Moments of gracefulness mixed with comical disasters. Guaraldi's music reflects that: measures of floating-on-air right along with times of clashing skates. It is set by John Gibson for 3 flutes and 1 alto flute (with an alternate 4th flute part).

This is a beautiful, playable arrangement for four flutes. You receive the score, the Flute 1, Flute 2, the Flute 3 and Flute 4 parts. The sound clip is digitally produced.

Please check out the music sample for playability for your ensemble.

One of the most popular Christmas carols, Joy to the World has been arranged here for four C flutes (no alto or bass required). This is accessible to higher level middle school, high school and adult flute players. The first verse is a very basic harmonization. The second goes into the relative minor, expressing the verse "No more let sins or sorrows grow, Or thorns infest the ground." The third, after a small fanfare, re-enters the major and leads to a somewhat polyphonic ending.
