To celebrate the 1 year anniversary of the release of The Chop Notation Project, I’ve prepared a special choppy rendition of a festive classic-useful for everyday of the year, and even on that extra one day of a leap year.
If you’d like to see how this is notated, please follow the link below and download your preferred clef.

*NOTE: 5-String fiddlers/violinists, you can read the G-Clef part…the only difference is that I end with a double-stop only available to those with a C-string.
ABOUT THE CHOP NOTATION PROJECT:
The Chop Notation Project is a written work (free PDF download) which creates and establishes a standardized music notation to read and write percussive the bowed string technique known as chopping, bringing it up to speed with the current playing practice. Created by myself in partnership with Spanish violinist Oriol Saña, and through consultation with other recognized “choppers,” the hope is that a system such as this will enable composers and players to share and communicate their musical ideas more easily across the globe.

Best wishes and happiest of happies to you all,
Casey
