BrookWright Music: Jingle Bells Forever (Pierpont/Sousa/Smith arr. Lythaby)

A festive favourite with pinch of Sousa march magic for Christmas.

BrookWright
  Jingles Bells with a pinch of Sousa magic.

This ever-popular festive tune is a setting of two American favourites that weave the melodic line from Pierpont's 'Jingle Bells' with Sousa's unmistakable march style.

Available from BrookWright there are versions for both brass band and brass quintet, arranged by Jack Lythaby.

Grandioso

Drawn from 'The Stars and Stripes Forever', Sousa's march provides the perfect accompaniment for the most festive of Christmas melodies.

Sousa's famous grandioso with the piccolo descant (scored for soprano cornet in the brass band version) and trombone countermelody draw this festive standard to a rousing conclusion.
