WALTZ TIME FOR CHRISTMAS (Alfred Concert Band) - Cacavas, John

Your audience will love this unique and wonderful setting of Christmas carols in 3/4 time arranged by John Cacavas. A dramatic brass intro opens with "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear," set here as a woodwind feature. "O Tannenbaum" is then treated in fanfare-like fashion featuring the brass section, followed by a smooth woodwind rendition of "Noel" that features a flowing trumpet solo. The piece ends with a novel version of "Jingle Bells" written in the style of a Viennese grand waltz. Fun for all!
