No. 313 Cornet Solo - Jingle Bells (Richard E Holz Sr.)

This piece takes the form of a competition or dialogue between soloist and band. The piece was written as a short media stunt where a diminutive soloist starts out slowly building in speed and technical agility. The references to Erik Leidzen's various settings of Jingle Bells are entirely intentional!         

No. 314 A Little Christmas Suite (Ruben Schmidt)

This suite was written for Solingen Salvation Army Band's annual Christmas concert and features three Christmas songs; 'I saw three ships', O little town of Bethlehem' and 'We wish you a merry Christmas'.
