A Coventry Rhapsody

Rhapsody for Brass & Percussion

For bands searching for an �Overture� kind of work to programme into their Christmas concerts, look no further. �The Coventry Carol� dates back to the 16th century and is one of three songs from a nativity play entitled �Pageant of the Shearman and Tailors� which was traditionally performed in Coventry. The carol itself depicts the �Massacre of the Innocents� in the nativity narrative from the �Gospel of Matthew�, in which King Herod, orders the execution of all baby boys under the age of two in the vicinity of Bethlehem. In this Rhapsody, Karl Whelan takes the familiar tune and turns it into an impressive showcase for bands looking to give the audience something different and very enjoyable for their festive concerts.

A darker middle movement precedes an exciting finale which will have the audiences cheering. A must have for all euphonium soloists.

A Partridge In A Pear Tree

The perfect Christmas concert finale!!! The Twelve Days of Christmas is known for being one of the most tedious pieces for any band to play - now the band get their own back! As the M.D starts to conduct the "Twelve Days Of Christmas", the band has other ideas. Throughout the piece, well-known carols are blasted out from all corners of the stage. This item is ideally suited for each band to add their own choreography. As the M.D fights to keep the front row playing all twelve days, the trombones stand to blast out Jingle Bells, the horns decide to join in and the back row then show their retaliation by giving a round of "Once In Royal David's City" - and the fun goes on. Eventually the M.D & front row finally loose their battle and give in at the end to a rousing line of "We Wish you a Merry Christmas". Fanfares, Jazz Waltz's and Christmas bedlam leave your audience in stitches and wanting more!!
