There are over 500 arrangements of this tune for sale on this site, but there is exactly ONE reason you should choose this one over any of the rest of them. It is in THE KEY OF C!! As advertised, you will find absolutely no, none, zero, zilch, NADA! accidentals in the key signature. That said, the tune is pretty chromatic as you well know, so there will of course be ample accidentals, marked clearly & appropriately as needed. This key is a particularly good choice for a baritone (lower octave) or alto (higher octave) soloist, but would also work great with any sort of instrumental soloist as well. It's pretty much the version of this tune you know and love, with a nice little instrumental break right before the last verse. No frills, but the lines you need to hear are there.Difficulty level - A professional or college orchestra could sight read this at a glance. High schoolers might take a rehearsal or two, but can totally handle it as long as the concertmaster can grab a high F on that opening fermata.Performance time - 3 minutes, right on the nose (at which Jack Frost may or may not be nipping...)Questions? Feel free to contact me via my website, www.kylepudenz.com/ or on the 'Insta @theviolinvagabond.
