About the piece
‘Jingle all the way’ for violin ensemble, piano, and sleigh bells, is a light-hearted arrangement of Jingle Bells. A popular choice for school concerts, violins 2 and 3 are the most straight-forward, with violin 1 written for a more able player, and violin 4 containing some chromaticism which needs more awareness of semi-tone tuning. The recording is of a violin group of secondary school children (age 13-16) who are ABRSM Grade 3+.
