Free Christmas music for low brass quartet w/band

It's never too early to think about the upcoming Christmas concerts!

In order to help organizations with limited budgets for new music, I've made two of my Christmas compositions available for free download. These were originally written for the Delaware Valley Wind Symphony.

The first piece is for low brass quartet (ideally, two euphoniums and two tubas) and band called "Christmas Tuben." Also available is a set of stylistic variations on Jingle Bells called "Jingle Variations." Both pieces are for an advanced high school, college or community band - but are not terribly difficult.

You can find more information on my download page at:

The full scores and all parts are available in PDF format and computer-generated sound renditions are available. If you download, please see the printing instructions (especially for the parts to prevent bad page turns).

Have fun with them!

Thanks Steve, checking it out now. There doesn't seem to be a solo 2 part in bass clef................. also, you mention sound files but I can't find them either, have to be able to convince our director to program it.................

Good catch! I have added the solo 2 bass clef part - when the file is re-posted, anyone who has downloaded the "Christmas Tuben" parts file will need to re-download the updated parts file.

The computer-generated sound file is located on the full score download page - there is a button on the left side marked "listen."

Update - corrected "Christmas Tuben" parts file has been re-posted.

While there probably won't be many Christmas concerts this year, I added a new piece to my free music download page - "Jingle March" - a quick little march that is my interpretation of Jingle Bells as if it was a march written by Sousa or King. It is available in versions for concert band and brass quintet. In the quintet version, the tuba gets to play some melody! The percussion parts from the band version can also be used with the quintet version should you care to do so.

"Christmas Tuben" is still there for anyone who didn't download it last year, along with some other band pieces. As always, it's all free.
