Jolly on the Housetop - Gary P. Gilroy

Based on the holiday favorites Jolly Old St. Nicholas and Up on the Housetop with a rousing nod to Joy to the World as the finale, this delightful and engaging arrangement is perfect for a young band's first holiday concert. The two main themes creatively intertwine, with each section getting a chance to play the melody. A trumpet countermelody, glissandos, and even playful woodblock and cowbell solos make this a festive treat for musicians and concertgoers. This work will help develop technique as well as balance, blend, and dynamics.
