Program Notes
Have you ever wondered how Santa can get around everyone’s house without making a sound? This arrangement of Up on the Housetop is a musical depiction of what it would sound like if Santa was caught sneaking around. Every instrument gets an opportunity to shine in this piece, either by playing the melody or getting short solis.
