SYMPHONY MASTER SUITE — STANDARD
The Complete Orchestra Edition — $399
Ten Christmas carols in one six and a half minute overture for full orchestra. The score and every part, ready for the first rehearsal, with an optional choir and an optional rhythm section that carry the finish.
The Carols: Here We Come A-Caroling, Joy to the World, God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen, The First Noel, O Come, All Ye Faithful, Angels We Have Heard on High and We Wish You a Merry Christmas, with cameos from Hark! The Herald Angels Sing, Deck the Halls and Angels from the Realms of Glory.
Conductor's Score: 11x17, with program notes, rehearsal notes by measure and the full instrumentation.
The Complete Part Set: Every part at both 9x12 and 8.5x11, in score order. Piccolo (Flute 3), two flutes, two oboes, English horn, two clarinets in A, bass clarinet, two bassoons, contrabassoon, four horns, three trumpets in C, two trombones, bass trombone, tuba, timpani, four percussion, celesta, harp and strings. B flat parts are included for both clarinets and all three trumpets.
Optional Choir and Rhythm Section: An SATB choir part, with a piano reduction for rehearsal, brings the choir in for the finish. Drum set and electric bass join the orchestra near the end. No drum set? A conga part covers it on any hand drum you have. Or leave the rhythm section out.
Built for the Players You Have: No celesta? Play the part on piano or a keyboard. Clarinets in A or B flat. Trumpets in C or B flat. Drum set, conga or neither. Choir or no choir.
Reference Recordings: Four full mockups: drum set or conga, each with and without choir. Hear the version you plan to program before the first rehearsal.
Coming Free to Every Owner: An electric guitar part with a solo near the end, and a handbell part that can replace the celesta or play alongside it. When they are ready they are added to your download.
Every Way You Can Program It: A pure orchestral opener. A closer with choir. A pops showpiece with drum set and bass. A church Christmas program with choir and conga. One score, one set of parts, and the ending grows with whatever you add.
Production: Arranged and orchestrated by Matt Riley.
