A Distant Memory

If you're looking for a thrilling start to your concert, this may be the way to go. Recommended for high school concert band, this beautiful winter-like piece starts off with a delightful accompaniment featuring flute and bells, then a small piece of "Auld Lang Syne" (Robert Burns) shows up in Section 7, leading up to a holiday-like thrill ride in sections 9 through 11, finally closing off with a faster more upbeat "Auld Lang Syne." This piece will have the audience cheering until the reindeer come home!
