A festive melody, combined with 'Jingle Bells' and 'God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman,' will create images of a snowy sleigh ride for your beginners' very first holiday concert. A crisp, trotting rhythmic pulse is played by the woodwinds while flutes and low brass take turns playing the melodies. Uses only six notes, concert Bb to G, and no eighth notes!
