Adaptable Arrangements *in Strings Keys*
Behind the Music
In my home town of Spartanburg, we kick off the holiday season with an event call "Dickens of a Christmas." People dress up as though they're in Dickens' A Christmas Carol. There is food, exhibits, and most importantly, music. I've been able to get my band program wired into the festival by providing small chamber groups throughout downtown. To facilitate my ever-evolving program, I've arranged a ton of Christmas Tunes with very flexible instrumentation. Here's how it works:
How it Works
These were originally arranged around the model of a brass quintet, essentially SSATB. I've expanded to add transpositions and ranges to cover many varying options. You can play this simply using the traditional string orchestra instrumentation. You can also bring in different instruments since all transpositions are covered (i.e. violin, clarinet, viola, trombone, bass - the combinations are endless!) ENJOY!
** Performance Notice **
For those that would like to perform this in an online/recorded manner. GO AHEAD! I am totally fine with you using these arrangements for any type of virtual performance. Just put a link to direct other musicians that might be interested in using the arrangements as well.
MERRY CHRISTMAS :)

I would like to keep track of where these tunes are being used. If you don't mind filling out the survey below, it can give me some insight.
