Christmastide

(I Saw Three Ships, Patapan, in Dulci Jubilo, Deck the Halls)

Tyler Arcari

Using only the first six notes of the D scale, composer/arranger Tyler Arcari found a way to combine, in quodlibet, four classic carols into a delightful setting for the youngest of orchestra musicians. Your first-year students will shine as they delight audiences with I Saw Three Ships, Patapan, in Dulci Jubilo, and Deck the Halls (2:00)

Point Five

Laura Estes

Your students will think the title is intriguing, but it basically says what it is, a dynamic new composition from composer Laura Estes for the least experienced players. Laura draws on her many years of experience teaching beginners to give them a piece they will love to play. (2:02)
