Scored for augmented jazz ensemble, this setting of the famous theme (a.k.a. Danny Boy) features legato woodwind flourishes and sustained brass chords. In his score notes, Sammy Nestico says that all real 'blowing' should be saved for the ensemble chorus midway through, where a full, fat sound will produce vivid contrast with the quiet opening and closing.

SKU: KN.52510S
Approached with a stylistic lightness that should be well articulated, the strength and appeal of this setting comes from striking contrasts in dynamics and color -- one minute it's soft and subdued, and the next it explodes with volume and intensity. According to Sammy Nestico's score notes, maintaining a steady pulse from start to finish is the greatest challenge.
SKU: KN.52758S
According to the score notes for this pensive adaptation, the key to a warm and colorful rendition lies chiefly in an exceptional emphasis on dynamics. Playing in a smooth legato style and with vibrato at the climactic moments is highly recommended. A brief cameo for lead trumpet midway through is the only solo.

From the first note to the last, solo oboe carries the day in this beautiful bossa nova setting of the famous Christmas season classic. Though some brief ad-lib opportunities are given, written solo lines are provided throughout. When everyone pays special attention to subtleties in phrasing and volume (the band must not overpower the soloist), the results will be very rewarding.
