Look no further
for the perfect opening
to your holiday concert.
Using an old English
carol as the focus of
this work, Rob Romeyn has
crafted a festive and
upbeat holiday opener
using musical fragments
from popular carols,
creating a musical buffet
of holiday cheer! The
fun, swingin’
middle section of Up On
The Housetop provides a
great contrast to the
joyful beginning and
ending of the piece. This
version, for the
Build-A-Band series,
ensures success with even
the most limited and
awkward of
instrumentations. Let the
holiday season begin!
About
Build-A-Band
Series
The
Build-A-Band Series
provides educational and
enjoyable music for bands
with incomplete or
unbalanced
instrumentation. Written
using just four or five
parts (plus percussion),
these effective
arrangements will work
with any combination of
brass, woodwind, string
and percussion
instruments as long as
you distribute the parts
so that each of the five
parts is covered. All of
the publications in the
Build-A-Band Series have
been arranged to be
playable with any
instrumentation as long
as each part is used: 1st
Part, 2nd Part, 3rd Part,
4th Part, and Bass Part.
(Please note: In some of
these arrangements the
4th Part, and the Bass
Part are the same, making
it possible to play those
arrangements with only 4
parts.)
