Program Notes

Santa Claus is coming to town, and he is bringing his own mixtape of holiday bangers! He made his list, checked it twice, and decided his music needed a little spice. With a mashup of cleverly adapted classics such as Joy to the World, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, and Jingle Bells. Santa is riding his sleigh in style with this one. Christmas Quirks is designed to be a fun, upbeat holiday celebration that melds traditional Christmas tunes into a variety of styles, including jazz, rock, classical, hip-hop, and punk rock. The pop chord progressions make this creative holiday remix an exciting way to close out any holiday performance.
