Description
The familiar English Christmas carol The Holly and the Ivy receives a fresh and colorful treatment in this arrangement by Douglas Court. Moving beyond a simple hymn setting, Court utilizes the full palette of the brass band to create an imaginative and engaging concert item. With its lighthearted rhythmic sections and moments of warm, choral-like harmony, this arrangement captures the traditional spirit of the season while providing enough musical interest to stand out in a holiday program.
Difficulty 3
(Medium) Fourth year players, or junior high-level students may require these arrangements to be properly challenged. These generally have free use of syncopation as well as section and solo scoring. Cues and cross cues will also be used less.
