Two timeless Christmas favorites by J.S.Bach are gloriously arranged for the Concert Band and ready for your interpretation. BREAK FORTH O BEAUTEOUS HEAVENLY LIGHT and JESU JOY OF MAN'S DESIRING comprise the two contrasting movements (a Chorale and a Ballad). You know how valuable chorale style playing can be for the band’s tone quality breath support intonation and phrasing. With thorough cueing throughout the arrangement TWO BACH CHRISTMAS CLASSICS will work beautifully even if your group has instrumentation problems. Christmas music does not ordinarily leap to mind as a choice for spring festival use but you may wish to consider it in this case. Great music isgreat music any time of the year! Magnificent!
