Please help me spread the word about these arrangements to any orchestra directors you happen to know.  Send me their name and email and I'll send them a link to this page. 

Midnight Fantasy - this is an orchestral arrangement of "It Came Upon  A Midnight Clear." Intro theme is woven throughout the piece with thematic development (rondo) Standard instrumentation. (sax was an add on and it is fine without it)   Choice of piano or harp, or both unique part for each.  If you have never viewed a Scorch file (Sibelius' viewing, listening and printing system) then you will be prompted to download the program.  It takes just seconds with broadband.  Press enter through the requests for personal information if desired. Rent $75, buy $150. Will negotiate prices depending on situation. Will tailor parts to suit individual orchestral need (within reason, of course! (ex. convert trombone to Euphonium, prefer 4 part horn instead of 2 part) I am happy to say that this piece will be included in the holiday concerts of the Canton Symphony Orchestra and The Alliance Symphony Orchestra.

Christmas Sentimentale - here is a medley I put together 20 years ago for Marge Henke and the Tuscarawas Philharmonic. (Of course it was hand written then!) It starts with "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause" (second time through is a trombone solo 40's style) then to "Silver Bells" finishing with "There is no Christmas like a Home Christmas."  This is smooth and practically sight reading material for most orchestras. Provides a nice contrast to more intricate holiday pieces.
