Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy is reimagined as a swinging jazz waltz, with cool vibes and smart attitude. Includes additional instrument parts for flute, clarinet, French horn, and tuba. A free jazz solo practice track is available for this arrangement and features the full band heard in the demo recording during the solo section minus the soloist. A wonderful choice for a December concert! Please note the jazz ensemble version is in a different key and cannot be combined with the choral version.

This big band orchestration, Du, Du, liegst mir im Herzen, of Clare Fischer's arrangement on the recording Latin Pattern begins with a piano introduction from the recording Alone Together (Clare Fischer) that establishes the Latin groove of this traditional German song. Later there is an open solo over a vamp that builds into a very exciting ensemble passage. Optional parts are included for flute, clarinet, French horn, tuba, and guitar.

Recorded on the Sammy Sammy Nestico CD This Is The Moment, this revised arrangement does not call for flutes, woodwinds, French horns or tuba, though some additional personnel (second keyboard/synthesizer, mallets, 2 percussion) are needed. This is a real specialty number that can't be played by every group, but bear in mind that it sounds more difficult than it really is. It is great fun to play, individual parts are not extreme, and the bright tempo doesn't call for a lot of fancy syncopation. With some committed rehearsal, this will work well on a diversified program.
