Christmas Overture is a purely instrumental work for full orchestra that reminds us of some of the lesser-known Christmas carols such as “The Holly and the Ivy†set to a western rhythm that transitions into a clarinet and piano led soft jazz rendition of “Go Tell It on the Mountain.†The music then shifts hears into a brass ensemble arrangement of “I Wonder as I Wander,†followed by an oboe solo on the same tune. The piece closes as we revisit the western style it opened with on “Joy to the World.†A great medley for the Christmas season at your church!
