Alfred Welcome Christmas (from How the Grinch Stole Christmas) Concert Band Grade 1 Set Standard

The joyous sounds rising from Whoville, as its undaunted residents join their voices affirming the deeper meaning of the season, are recreated in this solidly scored arrangement for beginning players at their first holiday program. How the Grinch Stole Christmas, the 1966 animated television adaptation of the Dr. Seuss classic, has become mandatory viewing each year for children of all ages. Its imaginative musical score, together with an endearing cast of characters---not to mention the delicious narration of Boris Karloff---have created this American Christmas tradition. (2:15)
