If you need something special for your beginners to play at their first Christmas concert, you've found it. JOY TO THE KING provides an easy and fun medley of the two popular tunes "Ode to Joy" and "Good King Wenceslas." The entire piece uses only the first five notes of the B-flat concert scale.
This is a great first concert piece the band will love to play. And since your school will be licensed to make legal photocopies of the parts year after year, you can let the kids keep their parts as a souvenir of their first performance!
