The shout chorus builds from a whisper to a roar, bringing the chart to an exciting conclusion, full of holiday cheer for your band and audience. Great holiday fun!

Get your orchestra swinging this year with a fun Christmas piece based on the ever-popular “Up On The Housetop.” Drawing from his jazz background, Carl Strommen delivers an arrangement that is unique and authentic to the idiom, but within the technical capabilities of the intermediate student. Oh what fun it will be to ride this sleigh – Ho, ho ho!.
Swingin’ Santa (Up on the Housetop) should be played lightly and, with the aide of the ride cymbal at m.11, with a slight “swing.” Attention to articulations and dynamics will ensure this cheerful and buoyant piece a first rate performance of this holiday favorite.
