Sheet Music for Brass Band
The composers presentation:Rhapsody Noel was commissioned by the New York Philharmonic Brass Quintet and premiered on December 10, 2006 at Avery Fisher Hall in a joint concert with the Canadian Brass. Although composed for double brass quintet and percussion, IO thought the piece would work well for brass band, as well. I transcribed the piece for brass band in 2007. The piece is based on the following carols: Hark! The Herald Angels Sing Joy To The World Deck The Halls Angels We Have Heard on High Good King Wenceslas Jingle Bells We Wish You a Merry Christmas
