Noel Variants

Based on four different noels; “Sing We Noel”, “The First Noel”, “Noel Nouvelet” and “Noel, Noel”, this joyous holiday piece makes full use of the color and power of the modern symphonic band. With a variety of textures and ample percussion to create a festive holiday mood this piece would be an excellent closer to any winter holiday program.
