Composed in 1847 by the French composer and critic Adolphe Adam O Holy Night has achieved considerable popularity in recent years and is regularly featured in programmes of Christmas music. This arrangement for the Brass Band portrays the character of the music faithfully with warm sonorities making it a welcome addition to any band's Christmas Concert.

Nine pieces covering many different technical problems within a short time span and overall musical structure.

This concerto is small in scale; the first movement making much of an energetically rising arpeggio figure a lyrical second movement with some chromatic harmony that foreshadows parts of Sheherazade and a brisk march-like finale with an extended cadenza. In addition to the traditional cadenza this edition contains an alternative for the more advanced player. A solo part in treble clef also is included.

Choro or chorinho is a popular Brazilian music genre originating in 19th century Rio. Consideredthe first characteristically Brazilian genre of urban popular music it is the equivalent of styles like ragtime in the United States tango in Argentina and habanera in Cuba which emerged around the same time as well. Despite its name (which translates to lament') the music is usually fast with a happy rhythm characterised by virtuosity improvisation and subtle modulations full of syncopation and counterpoint.

London Brass Band Series-Scored for 3 trumpets 3 trombones tuba 2 percussion organ/keyboard When I set out to arrange traditional Christmas carols I was determined that they should not be yet another run-of-the-mill strophic verse-by-verse version of our Christmas heritage. I have tried to treat each carol in the collection as the basis for a Petite Fantasie - a continuous single-movement of variations on the original tune. Of course the carol is heard in its traditional form at some point during the arrangement but hopefully its appeal is enhanced without destroying the traditional concept. In particular White Christmas Silent Night and the middle sections of Hark the Herald and Christmas is Coming have the soft lush treatment. Christmas is Coming has a humorous opening and a Noblimente end. The collection is in all a delightful mixture of musical styles through the ages.
