Good Tidings—arr. Jason K. Nitsch.
Sparse textures give this concert band

passes quietly between small groups of
players before gradually expanding into a
powerful full-ensemble climax. The scoring
supports focus on balance, tone, and
expressive phrasing throughout. A striking
winter concert choice for a calm, mysterious
contrast that rewards careful listening and
controlled ensemble growth.
