A Christmas Fantasy for Jazz Band—arr.
Paul Clark. This very creative arrangement based
upon What Child is This? and O Come, O Come
Emmanuel will make a wonderful addition to holiday
concerts. With very few exceptions, the horn parts
amazingly never play anything more complicated
than quarter notes and the ranges are very
reasonable, yet the sound is huge and impressive.
For musical contrast, there are short written solos
for piano, alto, trumpet, and a short duet for both
altos accompanied by a driving, "steamroller" rock
feel. It's also playable with an optional reduced
instrumentation of three saxes, three trumpets, one
trombone and three rhythm. Totally awesome and
highly recommended!
