These parts should be playable by students with 3-4 years on their instruments.

All the solos for C, Bb, Eb, or F instruments are included in this set. It would be possible to use more than one soloist, especially a different player on each title. The original version of this music was for an Adult Orchestra. This arrangement is designed especially for student players and soloists.

The music is colorful, and interesting both to play and to hear – an ideal piece for school or church Christmas programs. Year subscribers download this music at no cost.

Besides the 4 solo parts, the orchestral parts include the following:

Flute 1-2, Oboe 1-2, Clarinet 1-2, Bass Clarinet, Bassoon, Alto Sax, Tenor Sax, F Horn 1-2, Trumpet 1-2-3, Trombone 1-2-3. Bass Trombone (Tuba), Perc. 1 (Bells), Perc. 2 (Timpani, Sus. Cymbal), Violin 1-2, Viola, Cello, String Bass, Harp, Piano

The music works with any size group of players in the Orchestra or Wind Ensemble because the solo part played with the piano accompaniment uses all the other instruments as additional colors and sounds. A farely small ensemble will add a lot to the solo in a very satisfactory way.

The sound file will allow you to decide exactly if this will work for your group of players. All sound files are free, and can be downloaded as needed. You do have permission to copy this sound file so students can use it for practice purposes.

The music was created by Bob Walters, former member of the U.S. Air Force Band arranging staff, and writer for music groups that perform at the White House.
