Description

Christmas Quirks by Calvin Warren III is a clever mashup of classic holiday tunes perfect for a full-sized ensemble with lots of personality. The performers will get to switch between jazz, rock, classical, hip-hop, and even punk rock styles as they quote familiar Christmas classics such as Joy to the World, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, and Jingle Bells. 

This arrangement calls for standard percussion ensemble instrumentation and incorporates a piano/bass/drums rhythm section to swing and rock in the holiday spirit over pop chord progressions.

Christmas Quirks would make for an excellent holiday concert closer that will leave the audience smiling and ready for an eggnog!
