Chimes and Sleigh Rides: A Christmas Theme for Concert Band (An Original Composition)

This is a piece written for concert band. Bits and pieces have been in my head for at least a year now, but I haven't put them all together until now.

For the most part, it's made up of sounds that remind me of Christmastime. It starts off with a motif in the chimes which is repeated throughout the piece, along with a hint of the sleigh ride with the tambourine. It goes into a melodic tune inspired by the chimes and a something similar to an organ. It then moves into the fast portion, representing the sleigh ride, or kids running and playing in the snow.
