This set includes our first Hannukah piece, The Dreidel Song, as well as The Birthday of a King by W. H. Neidlinger and We Three Kings. 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.
MP3 sound sample: All three pieces all the way though (synthesizer/midi).
