Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! (arr. Fred Sokolow): Ukulele

Sokolow knows exactly how to voice holiday standards for ukulele without turning them into novelty pieces. This arrangement lands in that sweet spot where the melody sings clearly, the harmony sounds full and warm, and players at an intermediate level feel genuinely accomplished rather than frustrated by the technical demands.

Warm, nostalgic, and genuinely festive without veering into cutesy or over-simplified territory. The arrangement captures the original song's infectious charm while letting the ukulele's natural warmth come through.

Intermediate ukulele students looking for genuine holiday repertoire that sounds professional and sits comfortably on the instrument. Also ideal for ukulele ensemble directors building a winter concert program with material that engages audiences without requiring classical training.

• Pay attention to the chord voicings and let them ring where possible. Ukulele thrives when you sustain rather than strum every beat, especially through the verse sections.
• Nail the rhythmic phrasing of the title phrase itself. The syncopation gives the tune its character, so lock that in during early rehearsals.
• Balance volume between melody and accompaniment if playing solo. The arrangement assumes some independence between right and left hand; make sure listeners hear the tune first.

Include this in a December holiday concert as a lighter solo feature or as part of a ukulele ensemble set. Three pages means it fits easily into a program without overshadowing other selections, yet it stands as a complete, satisfying musical statement.
