A Hanukkah Festival

A medley of three traditional Hanukkah songs: the dramatic Sevivon melody is written with a variety of accompaniment, leading to a brief but impressive clarinet cadenza (cued in violin 1); Maoz Tzur is a traditional piece scored with full, rich voicings along with the beautiful melody; Hanukkah is the Festival of Lights and the last section of the piece, a bright playful march with an exciting conclusion. Filled with memorable tunes that students and audiences will enjoy while paying homage to this important holiday, this is sure to become a staple in the literature.
