With Christmas concerts just around the corner, Pennine Music has released four great new works which are certain to add a fresh feel to your festive concert programmes.
Two come from the pen of Andi Cook who is now making a real mark as a talented arranger.
Infant Holy
First comes his stunning setting of the traditional Polish tune, 'Infant Holy', which would suit any Christmas occasion.
Warm chords, clever scoring and melodic solo lines are all on show throughout as the piece builds to its powerful climax.
In the Bleak Midwinter
The second is a wonderful flugel solo 'In the Bleak Midwinter', which skilfully brings two popular tunes to the carol together.
With sympathetic scoring throughout, it is not technically demanding on either the band or soloist, but relies on lyrical playing throughout to provide a perfect addition to any festive solo repertoire.
A Spanish Christmas
For something very different though, why not try 'A Spanish Christmas'?
This light-hearted work features three well-known carols with a colorful Iberian flavour: ' Fum, Fum, Fum', 'A la Nanita Nana' and 'Arre Borriquito'.
The music is skilfully arranged to engage all players and draw in your audiences as their feet tap along to the Spanish feel of Christmas.
