    Program Notes

    A Christmas Fanfare combines the melodies from In Excelsis Deo and Deck the Halls to create
    an energetic fanfare that stays within the range of young band musicians. The piece is written
    primarily with the first six notes that most band students learn, and it provides excellent
    opportunities to develop ensemble playing, dynamic expression, style, and percussion
    techniques.

    Rehearsal Suggestions

    nl
    As is the case with any arrangement, students should be made aware of the original songs from
    which the composition draws its melodies. Directors may consider teaching unison versions of
    In Excelsis Deo and Deck the Halls prior to teaching this piece, or at least teaching students to

    O
    sing the songs.

    Students should be made aware of which other instruments their part lines up with (for example,
    m.7 Flutes, Clarinets, Mallets, and Sleigh Bells create a background texture together; the
    students should be made aware of this). w
    Encourage the musicians to make obvious and noticeable differences in the dynamics. This will
    ie
    encourage excellent ensemble development for future musical achievement.
