Performance Notes
Ode to Christmas is written to educate your Beginning Band during the holiday season and have some fun
at the same time. Creatively using fragments of Ode to Joy, Jingle Bells and Good King Wenceslas, each
of the performers gets a chance to be a part of the melodic line.

Pay particular attention to the articulation markings, as these are essential in balancing the group in order
to highlight the melodic lines. Ending with a crack of the whip (slapstick), this piece is sure to entertain your
students as well as your audience in any holiday concert.

The Carl Fischer Performance Series for Band has five performance levels
to provide you with a highly focused repertoire for your band. Each level
has been carefully designed and graded, within specific guidelines, so
that each piece in a level will work ­with your band when it achieves that
level. Each level is also color coded for ease in finding the series that will
be appropriate for your band, as it develops.

Within each grade level, you will find selections in a variety of styles and
genres designed to meet all of your performance and teaching needs.
The Carl Fischer composers and arrangers are some of the most respect-
ed writers in the business. Their music is dynamic, fresh and eminently
worthy of your attention.

Beginning Performance Series

• For the first year band
• Limited instrumentation (bass covered by any low brass woodwind
instruments)
• Limited ranges, rhythms (only simple eighth-note patterns),
independence of parts
• Playable after limited study time
• Clarinet below break
• Active percussion writing
• Short pieces - length is a consideration for young embouchures
