Take a sparkling ride through the snow aboard an express train, headed straight for the North Pole. In this Grade 2 holiday arrangement, developing players will travel through several holiday tunes, including Jingle Bells, Deck the Halls, Jolly Old St. Nicholas, Good King Wenceslas, O Christmas Tree, and We Wish You a Merry Christmas. Students can work on staccato bow technique, easy dotted rhythms, and low 2 / low 1 finger patterns, but all while staying in first position. Be sure to use the included percussion and train whistle to make the journey come alive.

Get your orchestra swinging this year with a fun Christmas piece based on the ever-popular “Up On The Housetop.” Drawing from his jazz background, Carl Strommen delivers an arrangement that is unique and authentic to the idiom, but within the technical capabilities of the intermediate student. Oh what fun it will be to ride this sleigh – Ho, ho ho!.
Swingin’ Santa (Up on the Housetop) should be played lightly and, with the aide of the ride cymbal at m.11, with a slight “swing.” Attention to articulations and dynamics will ensure this cheerful and buoyant piece a first rate performance of this holiday favorite.
