Program Notes
How the Grinch Stole Christmas, the animated television adaptation of the Dr. Seuss classic, has become standard viewing for children of all ages. The joyous sounds rising from Whoville, with its undaunted residents affirming the deeper meaning of the season, are recreated in this solid arrangement for beginning players. The imaginative musical score, together with an endearing cast of characters, is part of America's Christmas tradition.
