This arrangement offers the traditional holiday piece arranged for a soloist or a section feature with three-part flex band and is written with the youngest players in mind! Simple rhythms and limited range.
Feature part lies well for flute, clarinet, alto, tenor, and baritone saxophones, and French horns. Might be challenging for trumpet, trombone, baritone and tuba. Would be useful for challenging beginner clarinets to play down to their Low G.
Grade: Band – ½+, Soloist – 1
Key: Bb
Meter: 4/4
Rhythms: Whole, half, and quarter notes in winds, paired eighths in snare
