All aboard the The Santa Express! We embark on a festive trip with an exciting mash-up of two holiday favorites, Jingle Bells and Up on the Housetop. Throughout the piece, and as the train chugs along, the melodies pass cleverly among all the sections. As The Santa Express slows down, and just when you think it has stopped, it accelerates before a final slow down; expressed vocally by the full band. But, the real question is, who will be the engineer of your train - the whistle blower? The Santa Express is sure to bring a smile to performers and audiences everywhere. Get your band on track with The Santa Express!.

This exiting 6/8 piece conveys the daring adventures of voyages during the Viking Age, sailing aboard Norse longships in the Baltic Sea. This heavy, accented melody uses frequent doubling between sections for a full hearty sound that rings out like the songs of the sailors and Vikings as they navigated the high seas. The bowings and articulations throughout this piece create energy and drama, with Violin I, Bass, and Cello venturing briefly out of first position. Like the push and pull of the rowers’ oars, players will feel the rhythmic pull of 3 against 2 in places, driving the piece forward with momentous energy, exploring new worlds of music!
