| Description: This clever Christmas medley starts with the ticking of a clock (optional percussion and pizzicato, 2nd Violins and Violas) and a hint of 'Westminster Chimes' before introducing three familiar Christmas songs, 'Jolly Old St. Nicholas', 'Good King Wenceslas', and 'Jingle Bells'. A perfect selection for a young ensemble's first Christmas program. |
