Christmas Medley 2009 (Closed Captions are optional)

J. B. Castle High School Winter Concert, December 12, 2009, Woodwind Sextet, Christmas Medley. (Tyler, I'm so sorry that we can't see you from this angle! I guess if Rolando moved his chair backwards he might have fallen into the orchestra pit, and that would have been sad.) Please feel free to TURN OFF the closed captions if you find them too distracting or annoying! Use the CC button to toggle them on/off. The captions present some of the arranger's thoughts about the piece.

Great performance. Fun choices of songs. Just curious...What instrument is the person (#5 from the left whom we can't see) playing?

[PushN88]

@misheemom She is playing Bb clarinet and sleigh bells in this arrangement. (It's a shame that I couldn't get her picture in the video.)

The instrumentation (left-to-right) is: Eb Clarinet, Flute, Oboe/English Horn/Trumpet, Bassoon/Trumpet, Bb Clarinet/Sleigh Bells, and Bb clarinet. I didn't write for these instruments -- I wrote for these musicians.

Thanks for the positive comments!

Fun! Fun! I love the use of the Eb Clarinet and the Pachelbel/Jolly Old St. Nick mash up, too! Favorite thing: your nod to the Weber/Hindemith 4th movement intro statement. Brilliant!

@dodeccaphonic Wow, thanks so much for your comments! Let's see. Number of views (so far): 2,869. Number of people who caught the "Symphonic Metamorphosis" reference: 1. It's an honor to receive praise from such a gifted composer as you. You have a lot of great posts on your channel! Thanks!

Wow, thanks for the compliment! Sorry, but I wrote this arrangement especially for the six musicians in the video. This is the only time that this piece will be performed.
