Description
Treat yourself to a brilliant and dynamic holiday concert opener that treats the popular carol to a series of variations full of clever scoring and a wide variety of harmonic colors and textures. The percussion writing is especially apt and the use of syncopation and brass mutes help keep the variations on the tune fresh and entertaining. There are passing references to other Christmas tunes that your audience and performers will have fun identifying. Duration: 3′
