St. Louis Wind Symphony - Russian Christmas Music

Omg my high school covered this piece twice in my 4 years of band. Honestly one of my favorite pieces we ever did

Not a technically difficult piece........but it requires the musicians to play with nice quality sound. It's good to show off the quality of players in a band and showcase the true art of making a piece of music come to life.

my HS band played this for UIL concert contest back in the late 70s. It was a fun piece! One of our sax players took on english horn for this piece. He did a very nice job! Good memories
