An excellent holiday piece for an outdoor summer concert. Reviewed in the International Trombone Association Journal Vol. XII No.2 April 1984 p.57: “excellent addition to the brass quintet literature;” “noreal difficulties in this work;” “the optional percussion adds a little extra frosting to the piece very effectively;” “the work is written in a style similar to the numerous Scott Joplin quintetarrangements currently published yet Dr. Jolly's Quick Step is original and makes for a fine encore piece or just a change of pace selection for a brass quintet concert.”
