The Friendly Beasts is a traditional Medieval Christmas song about the gifts that a donkey, cow, sheep, camel, and dove give to Jesus at the Nativity. The song seems to have originated in 12th-century France, set to the melody of the Latin song Orientis Partibus. The current English words were written by Robert Davis (1881-1950) in the 1920s.[2] The song is also known as The Song of the Ass, The Donkey Carol, The Animal Carol, and The Gift of the Animals.

Ravel's enchanting masterpiece, transcribed for symphonic band or wind ensemble in a brand new edition for SMP Press! The entire suite has been lovingly and painstakingly recast for winds and percussion, with an emphasis on transparent textures and colorful scoring. Included are: the pensive Pavane for the Sleeping Princess in the Woods, Little Tom Thumb, the exotic Oriental-flavored Laidonnerette (Little Ugly), Princess of the Pagodas, the charming waltz Dialogue Between Beauty and the Beast, and the ravishingly beautiful finale, The Fairy Garden. Long a favorite with orchestras and audiences, Ravel's Mother Goose Suite's introduction to wind band audiences is long overdue! Score only, parts available separately.

Little Drummer Boy - Peace on Earth is a Christmas song originally performed by English singer-songwriter David Bowie and American singer Bing Crosby. Recorded on 11 September 1977 near London for Crosby's television special Bing Crosby's Merrie Olde Christmas, the song features Crosby singing 1941 standard The Little Drummer Boy while Bowie sings the counterpoint tune Peace on Earth, written by the special's musical supervisors Ian Fraser and Larry Grossman, and scriptwriter Buz Kohan, specifically for the collaboration. The duet was one of Crosby's final recordings before his death in October 1977 and was one of Bowie’s most successful singles.

This sensitive and colourful orchestration features all sections across the concert band, is a pleasure to perform and will enhance any festive programme.
