Larry's skillful writing for band comes forth in this fresh and wonderful treatment of a holiday favorite!  Taking inspiration from Satie's Gymnopedie No. 1, this expressive setting of "Silent Night" will be a fine addition for easy level bands, although more advanced bands will enjoy programming it as well.  The simplistic, sparse nature of Satie's writing wraps beautifully around this delicate carol.  Uniquely satisfying!
