December Joy: Featuring: Deck the Hall / Here We Come A-Caroling / Jingle Bells, Conductor Score & Parts

Arranged by Douglas E. Wagner, three well-known secular carol tunes are showcased in this big and brassy, bright and flashy seasonal extravaganza, especially suited as a concert opener.

Beginning with a cascade of chimes, soaring woodwind runs, and bold brass lines, Deck the Hall" and "Here We Come A-Caroling" are presented with dynamic flair, interspersed with brief fanfare-like episodes. The mood transitions to a jaunting sleigh ride across the winter landscape, partnering the second time through with "Jingle Bells," as the spirited celebration closes with a short coda, drawn from musical materials heard in the opening measures of the work.
