From one of the country’s most prolific composers here is an easy holiday work featuring Angels We Have Heard on High Hark! the Herald Angels Sing God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen and O Come All Ye Faithful. This clever piece captures the spirit of the season while treating each carol as a movement of a small symphony. An ideal choice for directors who have trusted the pen of Elliot Del Borgo for so many years.

Scored in G and D, this simplified version of Beethoven's 9th Symphony theme features dramatic crescendos, clear bowing indications, and some pizzicato work for cellos and basses. It also assigns some lead material to 2nd/3rd Violins and violas, and finishes strong with a short ritard. A classic frequently included in Christmas performances. Duration 2:00.

Frank Bridge (1879--1941) was one of the leading English composers of his time. In October 1922, he adapted his popular string quartet Sir Roger de Coverley for full symphony orchestra and Sir Henry Wood agreed, at the last minute, to include it in the last night of the Queen's Hall Promenade Concerts at the end of that month. This elaborate and colourful orchestral version has never been widely performed, but has now been brilliantly transcribed by Alastair Wheeler to provide a miniature dance poem for grade 5 level concert band. Bridge's lively treatment of one of England's most famous traditional dance melodies will make a fitting end to any concert, with the strains of Auld Lang Syne introduced by Bridge as a nod towards Sir Roger de Coverley's traditional function as the final dance of a Christmas Ball, as it was in Old Mr. Fezziwig's party in Dickens' A Christmas Carol.
