Description: | A classical Christmas suite. As equally at home on a year-end subscription concert as it is at a Holiday Pops concert, this suite draws its energy from 4 classical works kept as "in tact" as possible while giving full nod to the Christmas spirit! |

Comments: |
"Best of all these head puzzles was Robert Wendel's "Classical Christmas Suite", which craftily blended some well-known pieces from the symphonic repertoire with various seasonal favourites, all the while showing such good understanding of the original music. Who knew that Mendelssohn had only finished with "Joy to the World" what Mozart had begun so well in his overture to "The Marriage of Figaro?" It was all very clever fun, which could be enjoyed at many levels."
— "The Brantford Expositor," by Murray Charters, December 10, 2012
"(Steven) Reineke brought us something really different in Robert Wendel's variation on a classic theme- "Little Bolero Boy." Combining Ravel with the Katherine K. Davis classic had me looking at something fresh in the familiar music, though I did feel a little naughty as the inevitable build happened. There's no other word but WOW! — "Swingin' Christmas" with NY Pops, "Q onStage" by Sherri Rase December, 2011 "This brilliantly clever composition, (you'd swear you were listening to Bolero, although it was clearly The Little Drummer Boy), was a thrilling toe tapper — possessing the same relentlessly hypnotic pulsations as the original piece." — Stewart Schulman, Theaterscene.net January 1, 2012 "Outstanding among all those smart arrangers was the work of Connecticut born Robert Wendel. Responsible for two other highlights ("In The Manger" and "We Need A Little Christmas"), his fiendishly clever marriages of well-known classical pieces with various carols in his "Classical Christmas Suite" early in the program was an absolute delight. Wendel nailed the essence of Mozart, Schubert and Ravel, while guiding their sounds into stimulating settings of five tunes from Joy to the World through Little Town of Bethlehem, We Three Kings, and Star of Wonder to a perfectly selected Little Drummer Boy to replace the repetitious melody of Bolero." — Murray Charters, Music Critic for The Brantford Expositor, Canada. "The most unusual, by far, was Robert Wendel's 'Little Drummer Boy', an astonishingly successful hybrid of Ravel's 'Bolero' with the familiar song by Henry Onorati. Anyone a little bit high would have thought it was Ravel's 'Bolero', complete with snare drum and brassy send-up at the end." — Mary Ellyn Hutton, Music Writer for The Cincinnati Post "The other number that really got my attention was an instrumental version of 'Little Drummer Boy' that was arranged like Ravel's Bolero! In fact from the very first listen the song could have been very easily written that way. This is a good example of arranging and orchestration and something to look for on a Christmas album, a little different and unique." — Goldenscores.com "An arrangement of 'Little Drummer Boy' based on Ravel's 'Bolero' is pure genius..." — Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (BP) Thursday, December 14, 2006 |

Description: | This new Chanukah song celebrates the lighting of the Menorah each night for 8 nights to remember the miracle of the Macabees.

Instrumentation: | 2/1+E Hn/2/2 - 4/3/3/1 - Timp + 2 Perc, Harp, Celesta, and Strings, plus Soloist (or Childrens' Choir) and SATB chorus. |

Description: | This new work gives a nod to just about every year-end holiday you can think of from Advent to the Epiphany, and it received a very enthusiastic response from the premiere concert audience. Set in a sort of "21st century Baroque" style, this work spreads a feeling of good cheer to all listeners with an emphasis on a Happy New Year. The treble chorus is optional, as is the organ part, but if you have a good organ in your hall, there are 2 passages where it can be really shown off! If length is a consideration, the middle verse can be cut resulting in a timing of 3:40. This cut can be heard HERE. |

Comments: |
"I'm impressed with the orchestration which is not only well done, but doesn't overwhelm the SSA voices. That's a great skill and not one that everyone has when orchestration for children's voices. So thank you for suggesting it. I will use it again."
— Christopher Bell - Conductor, RSNO, RTÉ and Ulster Orchestra Christmas concerts (20 per year), Conductor, National Youth Choir of Scotland, Chorus Director, Grant Park Chorus, Chicago, Chorusmaster, Edinburgh Festival Chorus.
"Paul Campbell's 'A Christmas Carol Fantasy' is a festive, elegant and bright piece that fits perfectly into an end of year concert with symphony orchestra. At Radio France, we were very happy to premiere the work in December 2012, where it served as our finale to a televised gala concert with l'Orchestre National de France. The writing is idiomatic, skillful and natural for all instruments involved including voice and made a great effect - both with the players and singers as with our audience and producers." — Sofi Jeannin - Musical Director of Choeur de Radio France et Maîtrise de Radio France. |

Description: | This sing along medley has proven to be a major hit in its brief history. With lower/better keys it is easier for audiences to sing, and shorter intros and bridges make for more singing and less transitioning. It is also very flexible with numerous small cuts to tailor its length to your program needs. There is even an optional break for your conductor or concert host to pass along holiday wishes to your audiences! It contains: Deck The Halls, Jingle Bells. O Come All Ye Faithful, Angels We Have Heard On High, Silent Night, and We Wish You A Merry Christmas and can be as easily performed with or without chorus or soloists. |
Comments: | The "Merry Christmas Sing-Along" featuring the audiences joining in with "Deck the Halls" and "We Wish You a Merry Christmas," was the perfect ending to a magical show." — Amy A. Winnemoreon - PA Theatre Guide 12/6/2016 |

Description: | An original work for childrens chorus [or solo] and orchestra with lyrics by Vince Trani and music by Robert Wendel. This is a rather humorous "letter of denial" to Santa from someone who seems to get into a lot of trouble during the year. What if Bart Simpson wrote a letter to santa? This would be it! |

Notes: | Our customers tell us that when this selection is performed by an adult in pajamas and a Teddy Bear, the comic result is amazing, with twice the laughs! Usually a board member, VIP, or local "celebrity" is used for maximum "effect," especially when sung TO your Santa after he comes on stage. |
