Take lots of familiar Christmas tunes, mix them all together you have Christmas Mash-Up. It is set for the youngest of players and the most difficult rhythm is a quarter note. The piece is perfect to highlight developing skills at the winter or holiday concert. Mash-ups have become a pop culture sensation, and it is my hope that your audience and especially the parents will think your orchestra is a sensation at their concert!You might want to engage the audience in this one and have them try and recognize how many Christmas carols are used in the piece. There are seven: Jingle Bells, Up On the Housetop, Good King Wenceslas, Angels We Have Heard On High, Here We Come A Wassailing, O Come, Little Children, and Deck The Halls.It has been my pleasure to have the opportunity to write this piece.  I hope you and your students enjoy it and find it useful for your program.—LARRY CLARKLakeland, FL 2017.

In A Holiday Smash-Up, an eclectic take on familiar holiday melodies, the woodwinds insist on playing Jingle Bells, while the brass remains resolute about playing O Christmas Tree. The hilarity grows as each frustrated section begins lobbing random decoy Christmas songs into the mix. In the end the brass and the woodwinds both get their holiday wish by finding a way to play the two songs at the same time! Individual parts are consciously written to support student success in the short holiday rehearsal season, while the work itself is a musical holiday joke book, full of surprises and unexpected twists. Liven up your next holiday concert with the humor and joy of A Holiday Smash-Up!.
