Star of Wonder is a collection of cool Christmas carol arrangements from James Welburn. The arrangements cover a variety of styles and moods, from the hymnal O Come All Ye Faithful to the surprise swagger of O Holy Night, via the mysterious We Three Kings, the jazz-inspired Silent Night and a host of other heavenly numbers. Recommended by Pianist magazine, which featured the composer's arrangement of Ding Dong Merrily on High in their Christmas 2021 edition.

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!

Four Elements was originally composed for Violin and Bass Trombone and was written as a Christmas present for the composer's sister, Priscilla, and her husband, Bass Trombonist, Gordon Hallberg who performed with the Boston Symphony Orchestra.Raum was experimenting with tone rows at the time and the row is first stated in the first six notes in the Trombone part followed by the next six in the Violin part.The titles of the movements, from the Four Elements, are descriptive of the moods of each movement.Water has the lines of the instruments flowing, as in a river with swirls and eddies.Earth has Jazz influences which are intended to give an Earthy quality to the second movement.Air, with mutes, glissandos, and quasi unmeasured rhythm, seeks to float;The finale Fire is crackling with excitement. Trombonist, David William Brubeck, asked Raum if she had anything written for trumpet and trombone as he frequently performs in a duo so she adapted the violin part in Four Elements for trumpet.The work can be performed by advanced performers.Two scores are provided, including one for C Trumpet and the other for B-flat Trumpet. The Trombone part can be performed with an f-attachment Tenor Trombone or Bass Trombone.
