This well-known standard is usually performed as a duet and has been recorded countless times over the years and notably in the holiday movie favorite Elf starring Will Ferrell. This charming arrangement for beginning players features the saxes and trumpets in the answering phrases. No solos are required however an alto soloist could be used in one of the soli sections. This will sound great with limited rehearsal time.

Vocal Duet (or Trumpet/Flugelhorn and Tenor Sax)-This familiar holiday classic is sure to be a hit with all audiences.

In addition optional parts are included allowing the duet to be performed using flugelhorn (or trumpet) and tenor sax.
