A Bach ChristmasAdapted and Arranged by

Susan Christiansen

GRADE LEVEL: 3

To the Director:

The elegance of Bach and the joy of Christmas come together in this wonderful arrangement for concert orchestra. Six holiday favorites–including ˝We Three Kings,˝ ˝The First Noel,˝ ˝Up on the Housetop,˝ ˝O Christmas Tree˝ and ˝Joy to the World˝–have been combined with five of the Bach family’s most popular melodies, taken from Anna Magdalena’s famous notebook. Each section in the orchestra gets a turn in the spotlight, enabling your students to experience Bach’s greatest melodies. Entertaining and engaging, this magical piece is sure to get your audience into the spirt of the season!
