Program Notes

Carol of the Bells by Mykola Leontovych is a classic holiday piece with a gorgeous melody that seems to stick in everyone's head. Eric Rath has taken that piece and arranged it for percussion ensemble - 11 to 14 players, playing a modernized version of the piece, with some more "pop-music-ish" chord progressions and an optional bass guitar.

This piece is a blast to perform, and is absolutely perfect for holiday concerts - give your percussionists a chance to have fun and to shine during the holidays!
