Large Brass Ensemble
(10-piece group)

Jolly Old St. Nicholas
traditional
arr. Zack Smith
Price: $18

Transposed parts can be ordered.


This is the augmented version of Zack's quintet arrangement of this holiday classic.  It starts off innocently enough with Pachelbel's Canon.  The melody to Jolly Old St Nicholas enters on top, then a whole bunch of other songs begin stacking up on the familiar chord progression.  This sounds like a very serious piece of music until you realize that the French horn is playing "Puff the Magic Dragon", the trombone is noodling the "Burger King" jingle ("Hold the pickles hold the lettuce..."), and the euphonium is quoting the "Theme to Laverne and Shirley".  A nice way to add levity to your Christmas concert!
