CHRISTMAS SONG, THE—Mel Torme/Ricketts.
Certainly one of the most-loved Christmas songs ever
written, many remember it by the opening lyric, “Chestnuts
Roasting On An Open Fire.” It’s a sweet, wistful melody
that has a place in many hearts, and this arrangement for
strings is just right for your holiday concerts.

FIVE UKRAINIANS IN A BELL TOWER
(Ukrainian Bell Carol)—Rick England. Who says
strings can’t swing? It’s Brubeck meets Leontovitch! This jazz
setting of Ukrainian Bell Carol in 5/4 time is even more fun
with the optional drumset. This is sure to surprise the crowd
and give your strings something they can’t wait to play.
When the audience smiles, you will consider it a success!

e GOD REST YE MERRY GENTLEMEN—arr. Chip
Davis/adap. Longfield. This “Mannheim Steamroller”
favorite is an energetic movement that features a solo violin
throughout. The mixture of contemporary and Renaissance
styles also sets it apart, making it a solid choice to add
variety to a holiday program.

String Orchestra
e JINGLE BELLS HOEDOWN—arr. Robert Kerr.
This is sure to become a perennial favorite! It’s the world’s
most beloved holiday song turned into a rip-roaring fiddle
tune worthy of any holiday concert or square dance. And it
doesn’t ignore the lower strings. Double-stops, pizzicato and
some serious “sawing away” keep this one exciting from
start to finish. As the composer says, “the faster, the better!”

MOON OF WINTER, THE (The Huron Carol)—
arr. Vince Gassi. The Huron Carol is Canada’s oldest
Christmas carol, written in 1643 by Jean de Brebeuf, a
Jesuit missionary. The melody is from a traditional French
folk song, Une Jeune Pucelle (A Young Maid). Intended as
a gift and teaching aid to the Huron people, Brebeuf wrote
the lyrics in their native language. The Moon of Winter is a
powerful, moving adaptation of the carol for strings that will
bring a sense of reverence and honor to your Christmas
concert program.

FANTASIA ON GREENSLEEVES (What Child is
This)—Ralph Vaughan-Williams/arr. Monday.
Rescored for strings, harp (keyboard) and two violin
soloists, this ethereal setting of Vaughan-Williams stellar
opus retains the form and texture of the original while
bringing it to a “student-friendly” level for more players
to enjoy. Melodic material is passed effortlessly from one
section to another as Vaughan-Williams intended and the
first violin solo includes some 3rd position work while the
second solo only requires 1st position. For large or small
performing groups, this is a rich setting of a classic work
appropriate for concerts, Christmas presentations, and
festivals throughout the year.

Christmas Tree
HAPPY HOLIDAY/ WHITE CHRISTMAS—Irving
Berlin/arr. Ricketts. Two classic songs by America’s
greatest songwriter are showcased in Ted Ricketts’ newest
arrangement for string groups. Ted’s combination creates a
great holiday mood with the light-hearted two-beat feel of
Happy Holiday, followed by the quintessential Christmas
ballad. Christmas programming at its very best.

HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE
CHRISTMAS—arr. Calvin Custer. This is an
exceptionally refined setting of the familiar holiday classic!
Fresh harmonies with tasteful accompaniment parts for
piano and optional guitar and drums make for a silky
smooth sound that really works for orchestra. Technical
demands are limited, but more advanced orchestras will
want to play it just because it sounds so good!
2351674 String Orchestra..................50.00
e IN THE BLEAK MIDWINTER—Gustav Holst/arr.
Leavitt. A haunting, elegant carol is beautifully rendered
by John Leavitt in this compelling setting for strings. Holst’s
classic Christmas piece makes a memorable centerpiece
for a holiday program; one you’ll want to perform year
after year.

PAT-A-PAN—arr. Chip Davis & Robert
Longfield. From the acclaimed CD “Christmas in the
Aire,” this string version of the holiday favorite Pat-a-
Pan features an energetic style with an underlying light
rock foundation. Continuing the “Mannheim Steamroller”
tradition of creative, contemporary settings, this is an
attractive program piece for a holiday program.
10081961 String Orchestra..................45.00
RUDOLPH THE RED NOSED REINDEER—
Johnny Marks/arr. Morales. This is a great way
to begin a holiday concert! It’s an energetic rendition of
the Christmas favorite with a Latin flavor to it. Percussive
staccato bowing imitates a “clave rhythm” as the melody
gets passed from section to section.
2474327 String Orchestra..................50.00
e THREE MINUTE NUTCRACKER—P.I. Tchaikovsky/arr.
Conley. A clever, light-hearted finish to
your holiday program! With the never ending goal to
keep the concert short, here’s the essence (nine themes)
of the classic ballet, honed down to three minutes or less.
Stage it with a big hourglass-type egg timer, or with a
projected digital stopwatch and let the audience watch as
your orchestra works toward the finish. For added drama,
there’s an optional accelerando (molto, if need be) in the
Trepak finale, to bring it in under the wire.
