The rousing Joy to the World and gentle Silent Night are undoubtedly Christmas favourites and would make an excellent choice for your Christmas concert.The scoring is flexible (the ‘soloist’ in Part 1 as an example could be for flute oboe violin clarinet or alto saxophone) and whilst written for a chamber group larger ensembles can also use Centre Stage with more players joining each part. An optional piano part has beenincluded for rehearsal or to support the performance.
