{"product_id":"slawson-christmas-day","title":"Slawson-Christmas Day (SP)-B\/V\/C\/X\/M\/3T\/P","description":"Falling to sleep on the night before Christmas is no easy task for a child. While anxiously dreaming of things to come, the clock ticks and tocks. Such is the story of Brian Slawson's Christmas Day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFollowing a festive statement from the solo chimes, holiday cheer spills forth in musical colors only percussion instruments can provide. The clock (temple blocks) starts its countdown to the big day amidst a light and carefree melody.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRhythms are generally basic and repetitive. So besides providing holiday cheer, Christmas Day is a great vehicle in which to teach younger players the basics of handling 12\/8 time. This piece gives entry-level players to prepare a rousing piece in limited time. You can't wrap that kind of gift with a bow!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChristmas Day ships as a professionally spiral bound folio with a full color cover.  Individual parts are included as printable PDFs on a CD-ROM.
