In a festive madrigal style, homophonic settings of each verse provide a creative contrast for the partner-song format of the lively chorus. The only accompaniment instruments are bells and percussion (triangle, tambourine, high drum, and low drum) which add to the merriment and cheerful style. A terrific choice for small ensembles as well!

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!
