Product Description
Everybody gets a turn on this Christmas favorite! On the first time through, Trombone opens, playing alone, then Trumpet 1 joins playing close harmony. The second time through, Trumpet 1 has the melody while Trombone plays an intricate contrapuntal figure; Tuba joins towards the end with a harmony part. The third time, Tuba takes the melody, while Trumpet 1 and Trombone play counterpoint; eventually Horn in F blends in with harmony. The fourth time through, Horn in F has the melody, and Trombone and Tuba play counterpoint; Trumpet 2 joins on the last phrase. The fifth time through, Trumpet 2 again starts with the melody, while Trumpet 1 adds fanfare embellishments. All wind up with a straightforward, triumphant finish. And a good time was had by all!
