The Joys of Christmas

A festive and fresh holiday concert opener for beginning band. Good King Wenceslas is used as the basis for this well-crafted, powerful and effective setting with a creative and lyrical interlude of Jingle Bells providing a beautiful musical moment before the piece ends, as it began, on a festive note. Easy to play and easy to put together, this wonderful selection can also be used with more advanced groups with limited rehearsal time.
