Even though it’s not about the holiday, Invasion of the Christmas Crabs is inspired by the annual migration of literally millions of crabs on Christmas Island in Australia. There’s a nod to a holiday favorite but most of the piece musically depicts the awkward movement of these exoskeletal creatures. A creative work for your first-year students!

According to the “James Curnow Dictionary of Music” (for what it’s worth) Jingleosity is: the state of being “into” Christmas bells — specifically, jingle bells. The tune selected here is obvious, but the arrangement is a bit different from the traditional. Bells at Christmas have been a tradition for centuries, and jingle bells — most often connected with sleigh bells — are probably as important as church bells in relationship to winter scenes and musical depictions of the season.
Jingleosity captures the joy and fun of the Christmas season through this universally recognized medium. After a brief introduction the tune appears twice. In between these two arrangements is a traditional “breakup strain” (sometimes referred to as ‘dog fight” — definitely not in the “James Curnow Dictionary of Music”) based on fragments of the original tune.
Over the centuries composers have written pieces for Christmas that capture the spirit and imagery of a winter sleigh ride. This jolly sleigh ride tries to capture the spirit of "Jolly Old Saint Nicholas" as he makes his deliveries ion Christmas eve.
