Look no further for the perfect opening to your holiday concert. Using an old English carol as the focus of this work, Rob Romeyn has crafted a festive and upbeat holiday opener using musical fragments from popular carols, creating a musical buffet of holiday cheer! The fun, swingin’ middle section of Up On The Housetop provides a great contrast to the joyful beginning and ending of the piece. This version, for the Build-A-Band series, ensures success with even the most limited and awkward of instrumentations. Let the holiday season begin!
About Build-A-Band Series
The Build-A-Band Series provides educational and enjoyable music for bands with incomplete or unbalanced instrumentation. Written using just four or five parts (plus percussion), these effective arrangements will work with any combination of brass, woodwind, string and percussion instruments as long as you distribute the parts so that each of the five parts is covered. All of the publications in the Build-A-Band Series have been arranged to be playable with any instrumentation as long as each part is used: 1st Part, 2nd Part, 3rd Part, 4th Part, and Bass Part. (Please note: In some of these arrangements the 4th Part, and the Bass Part are the same, making it possible to play those arrangements with only 4 parts.)
