Jingle Bells

November 24, 2005 at 6:22 PM

Well, it all started when my conductor noticed that there was a jingle bell part for 'Sleigh Ride'.......... and as he also directs the drum line, he decided that he would play that part. To to be honest, the piece sounded a lot better with the bells. So, this was all well and good, but then, someone made the comment that any piece of music could be turned into a chrismas carol by simply adding jingle bells................ Being the group of people that we are, we had to test this theory:
Twinkle - works
Mozart's 12th - works
Danse Macabre - if you can keep from laughing, it works

We tried some other pieces, but I can't remember what they were. Anyway, it was very fun. And, if you are ever in need of more Christmas music, just add jingle bells........
