Jolly Old Saint Nicholas

This is an arrangement of the popular holiday tune, Jolly Old St. Nicholas. It is arranged to be played by beginning/young band musicians. The music is tutti throughout, but the low voices get the melody for part of the second time through. The harmonies are SAB throughout to allow for a great sound with varying instrumentation. To facilitate the beginners, the notes required are Concert Bb to Concert Ab, aligning with the progression of most beginning band books. This piece would be a fun addition to a first holiday concert!
