Take lots of familiar Christmas tunes, mix them all together you have Christmas Mash-Up. It is set for the youngest of players and the most difficult rhythm is a quarter note. The piece is perfect to highlight developing skills at the winter or holiday concert. Mash-ups have become a pop culture sensation, and it is my hope that your audience and especially the parents will think your orchestra is a sensation at their concert!You might want to engage the audience in this one and have them try and recognize how many Christmas carols are used in the piece. There are seven: Jingle Bells, Up On the Housetop, Good King Wenceslas, Angels We Have Heard On High, Here We Come A Wassailing, O Come, Little Children, and Deck The Halls.It has been my pleasure to have the opportunity to write this piece.  I hope you and your students enjoy it and find it useful for your program.—LARRY CLARKLakeland, FL 2017.
