£45.95Deck the Hall
is a traditional Christmas and New Years' carol. This arrangement features call and response between a few instruments and the remainder of the band allowing lots of players to have short sections of melody. Even the "low guys" get a fun chance at the melody. Really bring this out and have fun with it. They don't get the tune very often!

£58.50Good King Wenceslas - John Tatgenhorst
Only the creative mind of John Tatgenhorst could turn this famous carol into a swinging powerhouse for the season. The innocent opening immediately begins transformation harmonically (passing from F concert to A-flat, and ultimately B-flat) until the only option left is to swing the roof off!

£62.95Wassail, Wassail All Over the Town
Wassailing songs are among the most popular of the secular holiday songs of Christmas. The tradition of "wassailing" refers to townsfolk going door to door, singing and drinking to the health of those whom they visit. This is basically what we know as "caroling." This popular British Christmas carol has been cleverly arranged to give all members of the ensemble interesting melodic parts. Rests are a must on a Christmas concert and this has been taken into account, giving chop breaks as needed. (3:20)

£98.50A Christmas Intrada - Alfred Reed
The celebration of the Nativity has called forth countless songs, dances, carols , plays and combinations of these, involving both vocal and instrumental forces, throughout the centuries, intertwining the feeling of radiant joy and infinite tenderness in many different ways. A CHRISTMAS INTRA DA represents an attempt to portray, in musical terms alone, five contrasting moods associated with the festivities of the Christmas season. These five sections are played without pause. They are: FANFARE: CHRISTUS NATUS EST for brass, chimes, bells and percussion only; LULLABY FOR THE CHRIST CHILD played by the woodwinds; PROCESSIONAL OF THE KINGS AND SHEPHERDS played by the full group; CAROL FOR THE HOLY NIGHT for woodwinds, saxophones and muted brass; and, finally, WASSAIL AND ALLELUIA beginning with the bells and chimes alone, and gradually growing to include not only the full group, but also antiphonal brass choirs, to bring the entire work to a joyous and triumphant conclusion. A CHRISTMAS INTRADA was commissioned by the Middle Tennessee State University Band and dedicated to the bands who annually participate in the Contest of Champions, on the occasion of its 20th Anniversary (1981).The first performance took place on that occasion, at Murfreesboro, Tennessee, October 23rd, 1981, with the U.S. Marine Band, plus antiphonal brass choirs.
