We're all familiar with the traditional melodies of the holiday season. A very special group of more contemporary works has also become an important part of our heritage, and this upbeat and inspiring piece is a beautiful example. Bob Cerulli has created a lush harmonic setting that will make for a very special moment during your yearly holiday concert. It's delightful! Remember, this arrangement is complete with just a string orchestra, and any percussion and winds may be added up to a full orchestra.
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.
