Shepherds Swing! An arrangement of the well loved carol While Shepherds watched their flocks by night.

A walking jazz bass line, an original chorale melody, a swing version of the main tune, add a little improvised swing drum kit and you have Shepherds' Swing - a great item for Christmas concerts!

This arrangement is suitable for school orchestras bands and
ensembles. The arrangement allows for a great deal of flexibility in
presentation and will sound complete with as few as four players yet the scoring allows for expansion up to a full symphonic orchestra, concert band or brass band
