Description

Jingle Bells, arranged by Eric Esquivel, is well suited for a large beginner percussion ensemble. Emphasizing simple rhythms and patterns, this arrangement in B-flat utilizes mallet keyboards, snare and bass drum, timpani, and sleigh bells.

The keyboard parts are split between melodic and harmonic roles, while the timpani part provides low end using static pitches (no tuning changes required). Simple dynamic jumps highlight each new section of the ABA form and provide energy as the piece progresses.

Part doubling (or tripling) is encouraged, making the piece easily adaptable to ensembles of different sizes.

Jingle Bells ships as a fully bound score and includes individual parts in PDF format for either printing or tablet viewing.

Instrumentation

  • Glockenspiel
  • Xylophone
  • 2 Marimbas — (1) 4-octave, (1) low A
