Arrangement: The Twelve Days of Christmas
A simplified arrangement I did of the traditional Christmas carol "The Twelve Days of Christmas," (or "The 12 Days of Christmas" if you prefer numerals), for beginner's percussion and piano accompaniment (meaning all the percussion instruments are playing the same thing). The arrangement is for:
Glockenspiel
Vibraphone
Xylophone
Marimba (single staff)
Piano
Crotales
I added a little "ta-da" effect to the piano at the end, hence the time signature switching to 6/8 after being in 4/4 (common time) and 3/4 back and forth.

Original music is public domain. The carol, whose words were first published in England in 1780, has a Round Folk Song Index number of 68. A large number of different melodies have been associated with the song, of which the best known is derived from a 1909 arrangement of a traditional folk melody by English composer Frederic Austin.

EDITS: Fixed one measure in the piano as well as a few spots where one would sing, "Five gold rings," where I set the BPM to 65 instead of 60 in a couple of spots. Also added some more arpeggios to the piano.

Ah, yes. The song that goes on for a while, as we count down all 12 days.
It is one of the longer Christmas songs out there.
