n Diary of a Grumpy ElfTimothy Loest. Twas the
week before Christmas and Leon, a disgruntled elf
who has just started working in Santa's workshop,
is writing journal entries about each difficult day.
The band replies with a humorously arranged
Christmas carol that provides a snapshot of all the
unfortunate events taking place, such as wooden
soldiers who break rank and fight to defective
reindeer harnesses that accidentally come with
cowbells. But in the end, Leon realizes that his
work is important and that being a Christmas elf
has its rewards. Perfect to feature an administrator
or teacher as narrator. Simply delightful!

n Each Time You Tell Their StorySamuel Hazo.
"No soldiers choose to die. It's what they risk being
who and where they are. It's what they dare while
saving someone else whose life means suddenly as
much to them as theirs. Or more. To honor them,
why speak of duty or the will of governments? Think
first of love each time you tell their story. It gives
their sacrifice a name and takes from war its glory."
These poignant words by the poet Dr. Samuel
J. Hazo are matched equally with appropriately
dignified music composed by his son, Samuel R.
Hazo. This music for concert band with narrator is
respectful, reverent, and reaches a depth of emotion
that will touch the hearts of your audience.
