Calvin Custer presents this flawlessly sculpted holiday treat with sounds hearkening back to the glory days of Leroy Anderson and his scorings for the Boston Pops. To make a delightful arrangement even more resplendent, we work our way to the final chorus which has all the delicious flavorings of the Big Band era as the whole orchestra swings! With all the colors of the spectrum and all of the charms of the season, this is a dynamic work!
In the full orchestra series, all material (except percussion) is covered in the string writing so the pieces can be performed in their entirety by a string orchestra, or by adding winds and percussion you can perform these works as a full orchestra.
