Cheerful Vintage Saint Nicholas Illustration

Jolly Old Saint Nicholas

 arr, Tom Tucker

Grade .75

Written for the emerging beginning band, the arrangement  of this well known Christmas classic captures the spirit of the holiday season. Each iteration of the main theme is presented in a slightly different way and every section performs the melody.  The fantasia style presentation of the theme by the woodwind section is unique and will delight audiences.
Rhythms and ranges are limited to the first few notes learned but because of the independent section playing required,  the arrangement is best suited to slightly more advanced beginning bands.
