  Three for Christmas! (Kenneth Downie)

Three for Christmas! (Kenneth Downie)

'Three for Christmas!' is a sparky number by composer Kenneth Downie based on three much-loved carols.

It opens with a bright and joyful rendition of the 'Sussex Carol', which is quickly followed by a more reflective and tender setting of 'Away in a Manger', featuring solo cornet, flugel and trombone.

The third movement is a lively and upbeat version of 'Iris', which brings things to a triumphant conclusion.
