I have been searching for a good Russian Christmas Music version for a good 30 minutes now and this is the only one that does it justice! Thank you for posting this.

A piece that definitely t has to be experienced in live to capture the full beauty of it.

On our score, this was not labeled, "Russian Folk Music",,,,it was called, Slavonic Folk Suite-Children's Carol. I played French Horn 2. My other favorite of that era: "Sonus Ventorum"--both difficult pieces to play as they involved a lot of control otherwise they sounded sharp or flat.

@Mikey5406 Hello there! Yes, I am from Marfa. You know the band directors in TX got their approved music list from the UIL and a lot of schools would perform the same pieces--we could hear them at marching and concert contests in Odessa. Sadly, bands nowadays don't march like we used to--"Military Style". It's all about how many swirls they can do during their shows and they get to a position and stop and then they play. We would have to play the whole show marching up and down the field.

@1955marfa We played this as well in HS, in marching band. It was our end piece and the crowd would always stand and applaud. By the way, is that "marfa" as in Marfa, Texas. If so, we used to live very close to each other.

my advice for the horn section...well the first horn lol the last little bit where we do E down to an A (i think at least..well i know its an A),...GO FOR THE UPPER OCTAVE. more triumphant and glorious. (plus it makes you feel awesome!) fantastic song and im a little bias being first horn..epic parts!

i remember those trombone triplets well. they were the hardest part of the piece for me.

One of my favorite pieces... Though as a horn player I could be bias. :)

now that youtube allows videos to exceed 15:00 you should repost the song in its entirety :) that would make this classic song even more awesome without the horrid break right in the middle (thanks youtube)

We played this when I was a Senior in HS @ Symphonic Band Competition. The last part always gave me chills and even now, I can still remember how proud we were that we played this--Love the chimes and tympani at the end---AWESOME!
