7 Beginning Orchestra Advanced Orchestra Sparkle By Kathryn Griesinger A bright concert selection to showcase developing playing skills! Sparkle was originally conceived as a holiday piece for beginning string orchestra. The right arm and bow should stay relaxed on the string, with a not-too-heavy bow stroke. Sparkle also uses some bells just to put a nice touch to the piece. One thing that I like about this piece is that it has a very holiday spirit. What a wonderful song Sparkle is to play and hear. By Hayden Cichon

8 Advanced Orchestra Secret Agent Sugar Plum Arranged by Scott Watson Does it seem like the Nutcracker and toy soldier figurines have moved by themselves overnight? Are you experiencing strange visions of holiday confections dancing in your head? There's only one operative with the right skill set for holiday capers like these: Secret Agent Sugar Plum of the Holiday Sweets Division of WinterPol! This clever arrangement fuses themes from Tchaikovsky's Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy (from "The Nutcracker") with classic spy music idioms, all set to a driving rock beat. By Alex Kaplan

13 Cello Choir O Christmas Tree Arranged by Doris Gazda & Larry Clark O Christmas Tree is a German Christmas carol about, well, Christmas trees. The modern lyrics were written by Ernst Anschütz in 1824, but it had been a German folk song long before then. In fact, the original version is not about Christmas at all but about a Tannenbaum. A Tannenbaum is a fir tree and the song describes how, being an evergreen, it stays green throughout the winter as a symbol of hope and faithfulness. By Caroline Castellon
