Using only the first six notes of D major and easy rhythms, Pizzicato Holidays, arranged by Chris M. Bernotas, is perfect for beginning string students' first concert. The introduction and ending bookends include a hint of O Christmas Tree, along with Up on the Housetop; The Dreydl Song; God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen; and Auld Lang Syne. All sections play the melody in turn and have interesting parts throughout. Violin 2 and viola are doubled, as are cello and string bass. A simple sleigh bell part is included but optional. A wonderful selection to ring in the holidays! (2:25).
