Jingle
Bells is a Christmas hit
known all over the world,
so why not play it in
some diverse global
styles? This was Konrad
Koselleck's initial
thought when he began
working on this
arrangement. The opening
takes us straight into a
Disney movie, then some
Irish flutes invite you
to take a sleigh ride
somewhere up north in
Lapland. Down by the
river Volga, a Russian
hero sings a ballad and a
complete Rimsky-Korsakov
orchestra answers. A harp
invites you for a French
waltz a la Ravel . . . or
is it Strauss? Thereafter
a Bavarian polka sets the
right tempo to finish the
song, sounding like a Big
Band with a boulevard of
Hollywood strings before
Rudolf leaves us with a
last farewell. Arranged
for full orchestra.
