Get ready to rock your holiday concert with Hard Rock Jingle---a high-energy, hard-hitting twist on "Jingle Bells!" Featuring a driving drum kit groove, bold unison riffs, and epic trombone glissandos, this piece by Jay Coles is pure fun for performers and audiences alike. A guaranteed crowd-pleaser! (1:45)

Hard Rock Jingle is a high-energy, electrified take on the holiday classic Jingle Bells, reimagined with a hard rock edge. Featuring a driving Drum Set groove, rapid-fire tuttis, bold unison lines, and playful Trombone glissandos, this piece brings a fresh and fun twist to any holiday concert.
The infectious rhythm and powerful brass hits give it an arena-rock feel, while the familiar melody keeps the festive spirit alive.
Emphasize that first note in measure 1, but not too loud. At measure 3, take note of the fp dynamic marking-dropping down and then crescendo
up for maximum effect.
At measure 33, make sure percussion 2 does not overpower here. The main melody that echoes throughout multiple sections is the most
prominent thing heard. Even though it's marked as forte, I'd recommend scaling back percussion 2 a bit when the Bells play their riff of the
melody.
Challenge your musicians to find the hidden measure of Up on the Housetop in this piece! I hope you enjoy preparing and performing Hard Rock
Jingle! Please visit my composer page at rwsmusic.com to connect!
