Description
This fresh interpretation of the Christmas standard will develop your player’s expressive and technical abilities while still engaging and delighting audiences. Not your usual holiday selection, this fantasy also works well as a concert, contest or festival opener or closer. Beginning with a chorale statement of the original hymn, the ensemble soon encounters an expanded percussion section, changing time and key signatures, unique rhythmic patterns and various musical styles, while individual players are challenged with syncopation and dynamic demands. A truly inspiring and rewarding composition for holiday concerts, contest or festival.
