Dedicated to the Asbury College Concert Band, Dr. Lynn Cooper, Conductor Finale for a Winter Festival was composed in response to many requests for a finale-type Winter Festival piece after the enormous success of the composer's earlier work titled Overture for a Winter Festival (Curnow Music Press, Inc.). The joyous nature of this sparkling new holiday closer is evident everywhere in the piece. James Curnow is recognized the world over as a great concert band composer for every level of difficulty. The irresistible charm of his compositional ideas truly shines in this notably jubilant and celebratory new composition, which features optional antiphonal trumpet and trombone fanfares throughout. Remarkably creative!
