Skating from Vince Guaraldi's music for A Charlie Brown Christmas - set for clarinet 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 for 4 Bb clarinets.

For this Christmas here is a dramatic Fantasia for Instrumental Quartet based on the old English carol God Rest You Merry Gentlemen. It is an eclectic fusion of Classical music and 1950's Free Jazz and West Indian/Caribbean rhythms with exuberance and pulse. It is in verse-refrain form, but is very freely treated and each of the four verses is wholly unique. Every single note is written to express, and sometimes expand upon, the word of the text at that point in time. There is an irregular meter which changes every few bars using 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 6/4, and 7/4 but always maintaining a strong pulse. It contains abrupt changes in dynamics and a rubato tempo with many markings of articulation. This is a challenging work with dynamic results.

According to the Guinness World Records, the version sung by Bing Crosby is the best-selling single of all time, with estimated sales in excess of 100 million copies worldwide. Other versions of the song, along with Crosby's, have sold over 150 million copies. Accounts vary as to when and where Berlin wrote the song. One story is that he wrote it in 1940, in warm La Quinta, California, while staying at the La Quinta Hotel, a frequent Hollywood retreat also favored by writer-director-producer Frank Capra, although theArizona Biltmore also claims the song was written there.[6] He often stayed up all night writing ? he told his secretary, "Grab your pen and take down this song. I just wrote the best song I've ever written ? heck, I just wrote the best song that anybody's ever written!"
