Holiday cheer and good feelings abound in this whimsical collection of five beloved Yuletide favorites! Beginning with Ding Dong! Merrily on High in fanfare fashion supported by rich harmonies and a variety of percussion, the music changes moods and yields to the beautiful and haunting Silent Night. A playful version of Jingle Bells moves seemlessly into a spirited version of The Wassail Song in which the entire band soon depicts a festive holiday parade complete with roll-offs and police whistles! A woodwind chorale then introduces We Wish You a Merry Christmas before the entire piece explodes into a rivetting jazz waltz to bring down the house. Stunning!

Feature a mid-range soloist on the softer, slower, introspective moment just before the last spirited refrain. There's holiday cheer for one and all!
