This cheerful little gem is based on the carol Feliz Natal. Skillfully arranged for the important grade 1 1/2 level (which is where young bands really begin to break away from the most basic concepts into much more expressive ideas), it fills a definite need in the arena of young band holiday literature. All the instruments have engaging parts to play, and you'll especially appreciate the manageable-but-fun low brass and low woodwind parts.
