New 2011  Up a Level         

Featuring: Jingle Bell Rock / Frosty the Snowman / The Christmas Waltz / (There's No Place Like) Home for the Holidays (For Band and Solo Voice, Trumpet, or Alto Sax)

Looking for a tour de force for all your choirs this Christmas? Look no further -- TIDINGS! is an exciting medley of favourite carols ('O Come, All Ye Faithful,' 'He Is Born,' 'Silent Night' and 'Joy to the World') hat can be performed with choir, organ, handbells... even a band, if one is available!

Even though the familiar carol “Silent Night” has been arranged for band many times before, this unique setting by Rick Kirby deserves special attention. An oboe solo accompanied by piano sets the stage for an impressive rhapsodic approach that includes lush full ensemble passages with harmonic twists, solos for recorder and euphonium, and also band vocals at the end. Sure to become a holiday highlight.
