Blue Christmas (s/orchestra score/parts) Billy Hayes & Jay Johnson / Arr. Bob Phillips

StrIng Explorer
Made famous by Elvis Presley in the 1950s, this fun and swingin' blues piece is delightfully arranged to feature an individual bass player or the whole section with the strings playing back up. The bass solo is easy and the rest of the orchestra gets in on the fun simulating the drum set. Go all out and dress the bass players like Elvis and even add spoken words. Correlates with Book 2, Unit 5.
