W
elcome to Sammamish Symphony’s annual
Holiday Pops Concert!
This season marks my 16th year with this gifted
group of musicians. The Sammamish Symphony
Orchestra continues to grow in artistic excellence,
and the dedication of each member is evident in
the quality of this fine musical ensemble.
This weekend’s Holiday Pops concerts are Friday
evening at Meydenbauer Theatre and Sunday
afternoon at Eastlake Performing Arts Center.
The Sunday performance features the Beaver
Lake Middle School Choir, led by their Music
Director, Tina Worthington. We welcome them
back for their third Holiday Pops collaboration
with the orchestra.
The Sammamish Symphony’s 2014/2015 season
is an eventful one, highlighted by orchestral
masterworks and outstanding soloists. We are
once again presenting each of our regular concerts
at two locations. Our audiences can attend any
of these concerts at the Theatre at Meydenbauer

Center in Bellevue (Friday or Thursday
evenings) or at Eastlake Performing Arts
Center (Sunday afternoons). Performing
at Meydenbauer continues our efforts to
enlarge our audience and become better
known throughout the Eastside.
The Cantaré Vocal Ensemble has again
invited the Sammamish Symphony to take
part in a special appearance at Benaroya
Hall in Seattle. On Sunday, April 19, 2015,
we will perform Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana,
with several area choral groups. It is a
spectacular piece, employing enormous
forces in an hour plus long celebration. I
am honored to be asked to conduct this
exciting work again, as well as a solo
performance by the Symphony of selections
from Jules Massenet’s Le Cid Ballet Suite.
This will be our sixth collaboration at
Benaroya with Cantaré.
February’s España theme features Maurice
Ravel’s climactic showpiece Boléro and
classical guitarist Michael Partington in
Joaquín Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez.
Our season wraps up in June with Piotr
Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s Fourth Symphony
– a masterpiece by turns somber, lyrical,
colorful, and powerful. That concert also
highlights our Youth Concerto Competition
Winner.
Now, I invite you to sit back and enjoy the
concert!

The Beaver Lake Middle School Choir
A Note from the Beaver Lake Middle School
Tina Worthington, Choir Director
The Beaver Lake Middle School Choir is a combined choir of 7th and 8th grade girls and 6th, 7th and 8th grade boys. The Choir
has already performed a Fall Concert this school year and will also be performing at Seattle Center’s “Winterfest” on December
15. In addition, the Choir will perform at several concerts and assemblies throughout the remainder of the school year, including
the Plateau Festival with the Skyline High School Chorus in February, the Eastshore League Large Group Festival in April, and
in a trip to Disneyland in March. This is the third time that the Choir has performed with the Sammamish Symphony and we are
super excited to be part of this special holiday event. We will do our best to share our gift of music as we do when we sing for our
audiences throughout the year!
The Sammamish Symphony
would like to thank
Gordon Brown
and the
Gordon Brown Foundation
for the generous contribution for music to build
the Symphony’s library. Gordon has been an active
member and contra-bassoon player with the symphony
for many years.

Program Notes
Dan Goeller, arranger – A Christmas
Festival of Carols
As a holiday Pops arranger, Dan
Goeller applies his forte for integrating
traditional tunes into different classical
music styles. Besides his many
stylistically diverse arrangements,
compositions, and orchestrations,
Goeller has also worked on numerous
recordings and several tours with
artists including Amy Grant, CeCe
Williams, and Nickel Creek. A
Christmas Festival of Carols features
a medley of familiar carols presented
in a variety of classical styles. The
featured songs are “Hark the Herald
Angels Sing,” “How Great Our Joy,”
“I Saw Three Ships,” “It Came Upon
a Midnight Clear,” “God Rest Ye
Merry Gentlemen,” “O Come, Little
Children,” and “Angels We Have
Heard on High.”
Bill Holcombe, arranger – Festive
Sounds of Hanukah
A renaissance musician –
instrumentalist (clarinet and
saxophone), arranger, composer,
conductor, and music publisher –
Wilford “Bill” Holcombe by the 1970s
had become one of America’s most
published arrangers for concert band
and orchestra. His Festive Sounds of
Hanukah celebrates with traditional
songs the Jewish holiday, which
marks the rededication of the Temple
in Jerusalem after its desecration by
the forces of the Seleucid Empire and
commemorates the “miracle of the
container of oil” in which a singleday’s supply of consecrated oil fueled
the eternal flame in the Temple for
eight days, the length of time it took to
prepare and consecrate fresh oil.
Brian Balmages – Fantasia on We
Three Kings
An active composer, conductor,
producer, and performer, Brian
Balmages is currently Director of
Instrumental Publications for FJH
Music. His compositional ideas have
resulted in high demand for his wind,
brass, and orchestral music, including
commissions and premieres by the
Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, Miami
Symphony Orchestra, University of
Miami Wind Ensemble, and Boston
Brass. Fantasia on We Three Kings
is a feature-length concert work that
weaves modern, original material
around the familiar carol in a gamut
of textures and emotions, from
the impressionistic opening to the
dramatic conclusion.
Paul O’Neill/Robert Kinkel – Wizards
in Winter
Founded in 1996 by producer,
composer, and lyricist Paul O’Neill,
The Trans-Siberian Orchestra is
known for its elaborate concerts,
which include, according to Mobile
Production Monthly, “enough pyro to
be seen from the international space
station.” Its musical style incorporates
progressive rock, symphonic metal,
and heavy metal, with influences
from classical music. Both Billboard
Magazine and Pollstar have ranked
them as one of the top ten ticketselling bands in the first decade of the
new millennium. Wizards in Winter
is an instrumental track by O’Neill
and keyboardist/co-producer Robert
Kinkel released on the band’s 2004
album “The Lost Christmas Eve” and
is often used to open their live shows.
Alfred Reed – Russian Christmas
Music
One of America’s most prolific and
frequently performed composers,
Alfred Reed wrote more than two
hundred works for concert band,
wind ensemble, orchestra, chorus, and
chamber ensembles. He also traveled
extensively as a guest conductor,
performing in North America, Latin
America, Europe, and Asia. Russian
Christmas Music, written to convey
the sounds of Eastern Orthodox
liturgical music, was first performed
as part of a December 1944 concert,
nationally broadcast over NBC radio,
designed to improve wartime SovietAmerican relations. The work consists
of one movement, divided into four
sections: the opening Carol of the
The Sammamish Symphony Orchestra
is grateful for the generous support of the
Garneau-Nicon Family Foundation.

Little Russian Children, based on a
16th century Russian Christmas carol;
the Antiphonal Chant, introduced by
the brass section; the Village Song, a
gentle section featuring English Horn;
and the final Cathedral Chorus, which
concludes the piece with a thundering
chorale.
In our Sunday afternoon concert, the
Sammamish Symphony is honored
and delighted to present the students
of the Beaver Lake Middle School
Choir and their musical director
Tina Worthington in three holidayspirited numbers.
Mark Hayes, arranger – Jingle Bells
(Sunday only)
Written by James Lord Pierpont and
published under the title “One Horse
Open Sleigh” in 1857, Jingle Bells was
originally written for Thanksgiving. It
is now, of course, the most frequently
heard tune of the holiday season.
Award-winning concert pianist,
composer, conductor, and arranger
Mark Hayes based his arrangement on
an adaptation entitled “Jingle Bells?”
by Jack Gold and Marty Paich featured
on Barbra Streisand’s 1967 recording
“A Christmas Album.” The album is
one of Streisand’s best-selling albums
and is ranked as one of the best-selling
Christmas albums of all time.
Irving Berlin – White Christmas
(Sunday only)
During his 60-year career, Irving
Berlin wrote an estimated 1,500 songs,
including the scores for 19 Broadway
shows and 18 Hollywood films. He
was known for writing music and
lyrics in the American vernacular,
with his aim being to “reach the
heart of the average American.”
White Christmas had its first public
performance on a radio show, sung by
Bing Crosby on Christmas Day 1941.
Crosby’s first recording of the song
had disappointing sales in its first few
weeks, but quickly bounded to the
top of the charts. Researchers from
the Guinness book of records have
estimated (there are no reliable sales
figures from back then) that Crosby’s
version has sold in excess of 50 million
copies worldwide.
John Higgins, arranger – Christmas
on Broadway (Sunday only)
Christmas on Broadway, arranged by
John Higgins – Managing Producer/
Editor for Hal Leonard Corporation
– presents choral numbers from
some of Broadway’s best-known
holiday shows, including “It’s
Beginning To Look Like Christmas,”
“Pine Cones and Holly Berries,”
“Toyland,” “March Of The Toys,”
“My Favorite Things,” “We Need A
Little Christmas,” and “God Bless Us
Everyone.”
Alan Silvestri and Glen Ballard – The
Polar Express, Concert Suite
So much hype was generated about
the super-realistic animated characters
that many reviews of Robert Zemeckis’
The Polar Express ignored the fact that
the 2004 film was a musical. Zemeckis’
usual musical collaborator, Alan
Silvestri, teamed up with Glen Ballard
to create five original songs for the
movie. Upon the arrival of the awards
season, Silvestri and Ballard received
the bulk of the recognition aimed at
“The Polar Express,” with their Josh
Groban-performed song “Believe”

Arthur Harris, arranger – Good King
Wenceslas
Third Generation Violin Maker
Arthur Harris, arranger – The First
Nowell
Musician and arranger Arthur
Harris created many arrangements
of orchestral and choral music,
known for their thick and rich
textures, with many inner voices and
counter-melodies. His orchestrations
of Christmas carols include the
acclaimed series that was prepared
for Eugene Ormandy and the
Philadelphia Orchestra in the 1950s
and subsequently recorded for
Columbia Records.
The legend of Good King Wenceslas is
based on the life of Saint Wenceslaus
I, Duke of Bohemia, braving harsh
winter weather to give alms to a poor
peasant on the Feast of Stephan (the
day after Christmas). English hymn
writer John Mason Neale wrote the
lyrics in 1853 set to a tune based on a
13th-century spring carol.
The First Nowell is a traditional
classical English carol, most likely
from the 18th century. The melody is
unusual among English folk melodies
in that it consists of one musical
phrase repeated twice, followed by
a refrain which is a variation on that
phrase, all three phrases ending on the
third of the scale.

sneaks into Halloween, there is some
basis for spooky-sounding Christmas
tunes a la “Nightmare Before
Christmas.” Minor Alterations No. 2:
Carols from the Dark Side presents a
medley of favorite Christmas tunes,
transposed from major to minor keys,
then disguised, layered, and morphed
even more.
Mel Tormé/Robert Wells – The
Christmas Song (Friday only)
The Christmas Song (commonly
subtitled “Chestnuts Roasting on an
Open Fire” or, as it was originally
subtitled, “Merry Christmas to You”)
was written during a sweltering
stretch of summer in 1944 in an
effort to “stay cool by thinking
cool.” According to Mel Tormé, he
was inspired by a few lines he saw
jotted down by his friend and lyricist
Bob Wells: “Bob didn’t think he
was writing a song lyric. He said he
thought if he could immerse himself in
winter he could cool off. Forty minutes
later that song was written.” Nat King
Cole did four different best-selling
recordings of the piece between 1946
and 1961. A smooth jazz vocal stylist
himself (nicknamed “The Velvet Fog”),
Tormé’s own recordings of his song
didn’t sell nearly as well. However,
Tormé recognized the value of owning
the publishing rights, occasionally
referring to the song as his “annuity.”
Robert W. Smith – Jingle Bells
Forever
As head of the Music Industry
program at Troy (Alabama) State
University, Robert W. Smith brings
a successful history to his teaching
in music composition, production,
and publishing. He has over 700
published works, including three
symphonies, and as a conductor and
clinician, has performed throughout
the United States, Canada, Japan,
Europe and Australia. Jingle Bells
Forever fuses America’s favorite
Christmas melody with America’s
favorite Sousa march, and throws in a
bit of “show biz.” Smith has arranged
the piece for various ensembles,
including a version recorded by the
Boston Brass in their 2006 “Christmas
Bells Are Swingin’!” album.
