About This Piece
Forget the toys, trains, and candy canes — this Christmas, only a hippopotamus will do! The holiday favorite, “I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas”, will bring some whimsical fun to your next concert. Its flexible instrumentation offers versatility for unconventional ensembles, and optional endings allow you to meet your ensemble’s endurance and skill needs. One thing’s for sure, though: it’s certain to be a crowd-pleaser…assuming Santa can figure out how to fit a hippo down the chimney!
- Grade: 3
- Length: 3.5 minutes
