Jolly Old Saint Nicholas is a delightful mixed-level ensemble that will impress your audience and allow friends or siblings of different levels to all play together! The four parts are written for the early to late-elementary level student. The flexible scoring allows you to choose the composition length and whether to play it as a trio or quartet. Part 1 is for your early-elementary student and is written completely in the middle C position. Part 2 is for your mid-elementary student. It is written mostly in the middle C position, and contains a moving left-hand counter-melody in quarter notes. Part 3 is for your mid-to-late elementary student. It is written primarily in the middle C and C pentascale positions, but also requires a few leaps and hand-crossings. Part 4 may be cut if you don't have enough students to form a quartet. Both hands are written primarily in the the bass clef. It contains some shifting and dotted-quarter-note rhythms.The included performance notes give options for modifying the quartet in case you would like a shorter version or want to turn it into a piano trio. There is also a suggestion for how to incorporate an advanced student if playing a trio version. The music comes with a full score and four individual parts.
