Product Description
2018 Holiday Contest Entry
Flexible arrangement of We Wish You a Merry Christmas for jazz solo, small ensemble, saxophone choir, jazz combo or beginning jazz band.
I
arranged this for my 7th grade jazz combo (a
few somewhat advanced students that were interested in learning
jazz). I
initially arranged it for 1 trumpet, 1 sax, 1 tenor, and piano but it
is a flexible arrangement with
the melody doubled in the trumpet and sax and the tenor and optional
trombone part have harmony. You
could use the optional trombone in addition to the tenor or instead
of tenor. If
you use a bass or bari sax, tell your piano player to cut the bass
clef and just comp on the chords. This
arrangement would also work nicely as a saxophone choir, with or
without piano accompaniment. You
could even use this as a solo for one trumpet or one sax and piano.
You
can easily add a drummer and just have them play a simple swing beat.
