So Much Fun to Play for the Holidays!
I absolutely love playing these 'Holiday Funny Favorites' with my community band! Paul Murtha has arranged these outrageous Christmas songs, like 'Nuttin' for Christmas,' brilliantly at a Grade 2 level, so they're challenging enough to feel rewarding but not overwhelming. It's truly enjoyable to play such festive and well-known tunes, bringing so much cheer and laughter to our performances.

Clever Scoring for Ensemble Cohesion
While this isn't a vocal accompaniment, Murtha's Grade 2 concert band arrangement showcases excellent ensemble writing. The instrumental voice-leading is clear, with main melodies effectively supported by well-balanced accompaniment textures across the sections. It ensures a cohesive and vibrant sound, making these funny holiday classics shine. Great for teaching students how to blend and listen within a larger group.
