A joy to rehearse and a memorable performance piece.A sure winner!Stephen Bulla steckte das alte, ursprünglich aus Burgund des 17. Jahrhunderts stammende Weihnachtslied Pat-a-pan in ein völlig neues Gewand. Herauskam A French Noël, eine Fantasie für Blas orchester voller überraschender harmonischer Wendungen und Kontrasten in der Orchestrierung. Bernard de La Monnoye (1641-1728) fut un avocat, poète, philologue et critique français, connu principalement pour ses Noëls bourguignons.

La mélodie est dansante et légère ; la musique est virevoltante.
