Description
Jingle Bells Forever is a setting of two American favourites that weaves the melodic line from Pierpont’s Jingle Bells with Sousa’s unmistakable march style. Drawn from The Stars and Stripes Forever, Sousa’s immortal march that has become the official national march of the United States of America, the familiar strains provide the perfect accompaniment for the most festive of Christmas melodies. Sousa’s famous grandioso with the piccolo descant (here scored for cornet/trumpet Bb) and trombone countermelody draw this festive standard to a rousing conclusion.
