Description
Add a touch of profound, English lyrical beauty to your Christmas program with John Ireland’s The Holy Boy, arranged by Eric Wilson. Originally a piano prelude, this work has become one of Ireland’s most beloved melodies. The brass band arrangement emphasizes the “organ-like” sonorities and rich, warm blend of the ensemble, creating an atmosphere of quiet devotion and serenity. The music unfolds with a gentle, singing grace, requiring great sensitivity to phrasing and dynamic control. This is an exquisite choice for a holiday concert, a carol service, or as a peaceful contrast to more boisterous festive works, highlighting the ensemble’s expressive depth.
