Product Description

Why we waited until now to put these three selections in a set of quints is anybody's guess. Carol of the Shepherds, Deck the Halls, and O Come O Come Emmanuel are all very recognizable Christmas classics. The arrangements are specifically designed to be playable by second- or third-year players, though their use need not be restricted to just young ensembles.

From time to time, all brass groups get asked to play at a community gathering, shopping mall, open house, or something similar, and this could be a handy source of some material to play.
