Beginning Strings
CAROL OF THE BELLS—Larry Clark. Here’s one of
the holiday’s most-loved classics scaled down for beginning
string groups! While making the most of the simple
repetitive melody, this version avoids tricky accidentals
and keeps the integrity of the original composition. There’s
also a clever quotation of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
as an extra added touch. Very well done!

ODE TO JOY—Ludwig van Beethoven/arr. Del
Borgo. Absolutely essential! Every single student should
be exposed to this stirring work as early as possible, and
Elliot Del Borgo’s simple, basic arrangement lets you
do that with the assurance that beginning students will

be in every library!

TWO WINTER SKETCHES—Brian Balmages.
A thoughtful interlude comprising two traditional songs:
The Holly and the Ivy and Jingle Bells. But don’t be fooled
by the titles, Brian Balmages’ arrangement focuses less
on the melodies of the holiday warhorses but more on
the underlying harmonies, by inverting the melodies and
conventional rhythms.

directly into the next for a joyous medley that’s not too hard
and serves as a great opener or closer.

From the joyous finale of “A Charlie Brown Christmas”
comes the song that has become a holiday tradition. Your
students will love learning this and may learn a few new
notes along the way! The arrangement is simple enough
for young orchestras to play, yet it keeps that original
“Vince Gauraldi Trio” jazz sound that everyone loves.
Make this a holiday tradition!

mature-sounding orchestration.
