The Great Holiday Gift Hunt!

FJH Music Company Inc

Here is an easy holiday work featuring four carols that make a mini-symphony: Angels We Have Heard on High; Hark! the Herald Angels Sing; God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen and O Come, All Ye Faithful. Each piece flows directly into the next for a joyous medley that's not too hard and serves as a great opener or closer.

All Is Calm, All Is Bright

Here's the arrangement your audience will be talking about! These two holiday hits flow together so naturally, they seem made to be together! Set in A minor, the music begins with a dramatic build-up into the Carol of the Bells. The repetitive motive is given to violas and seconds while first violins play a quieter pizzicato that matches the descending bass line in the low strings. Suddenly and without fanfare, the Greensleeves melody arrives, being played by the celli. From this point on the two Christmas favorites intertwine in surprising and creative ways, each making the other more appealing!

Carol of the Bells/Greensleeves

A lovely take on a classic tune, this arrangement is extremely accessible and easy to put together – it will resonate with your young musicians!

In the Bleak Midwinter

Set the stage for your holiday or winter concert with this easy yet enchanting arrangement. A heartwarming addition to your holiday repertoire, you'll go back to this year after year.

Finally, an arrangement of Greensleeves that beginning string orchestras can play! Set in E minor, it uses notes familiar to beginners and, through clever arranging, avoids new accidentals and difficult string crossings. This is ideal for holiday concerts and year-round performances. Your students will love sounding this good!

Fantasy on Greensleeves

This clever arrangement takes the beloved carol Up on the Housetop and turns it upside down with a spooky twist! Perfect for introducing your very young players to the minor scale, and a fresh new work for those first concerts.

Nightmare on the Housetop

Hal Leonard Corporation

That jazzy Vince Guaraldi sound made A Charlie Brown Christmas stand out from any other show. Now your strings can play Christmas Time Is Here; O Tannenbaum and Linus and Lucy! These are songs that have become a family tradition for several generations.

A Charlie Brown Christmas

A lushly orchestrated arrangement of a beloved song, ideal for holiday or year-round performances. Great for teaching simple pop rhythms while captivating audiences.

Mary, Did You Know?

Musicians will love the drama in this work as they mix Poor Wayfaring Stranger with the likes of God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen and Patapan. This will be the star of your next holiday program!

Merry Wayfaring Stranger

Play one, a few, or all six of these fantastically arranged carols! Anderson's beloved holiday medley includes: Pastores a Belen; It Came Upon the Midnight Clear; O Little Town of Bethlehem; Bring a Torch Jeanette, Isabella; Away in a Manger and Wassail Song. Higher positions are used in the first violins and occasionally in the cellos, but all sections have their moments to shine.

Suite of Carols

Your students and audience will flip over this clever mashup of the popular carols Up on the Housetop; Jingle Bells; In the Bleak Midwinter; The First Noel; God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen and O Come, All Ye Faithful, all tied together with the familiar B-I-N-G-O melody. The piece stays in one tempo throughout, so it will come together with minimal rehearsal time and will be an absolute hit at your holiday concert.

Christmas Bingo

This creative setting of Jolly Old St. Nicholas and Jingle Bells for beginning string orchestra will make you feel like you are sitting around the campfire having a yuletide sing-along in the Old West. Low strings will enjoy playing the "clip, clop" bass line. Easy double-stops. Violin 2/viola and cello/bass are doubled. Optional added percussion (woodblock and sleigh bells).

Christmas Corral

Conceived as a dialogue between traditional and contemporary, this work offers a light and buoyant treatment of the familiar holiday melody. The theme grows and subsides in musical swells, moving in unmistakable forward motion. The use of pizzicato syncopation adds a fresh approach to this ancient tune.

Veni, Veni, Emmanuel

The heartwarming and instantly recognized theme from the "Home Alone" movies is arranged here in a new version for developing groups.  This version is ideal for the group with limited rehearsal time and will be a highlight of a holiday concert.

Somewhere in My Memory

The beloved Christmas carol receives a unique treatment in this arrangement for string orchestra. The tune is heard twice: the first time, it is paired with a motive from the Prelude of J.S. Bach's Cello Suite No. 1; the second time, the melody shifts from part to part, giving everyone a chance to shine. Unique phrasing and rich scoring make it warm and embracing, a real audience pleaser for your holiday concerts. (3:00)
