carol

A festive, musical cocktail by Tim Paton for concert band, bringing together a folk-feel dance motif and a familiar carol, to create the atmosphere of a village celebration.  Opening with a lively Jig, the piece then settles to offer the tranquility of Gustav Holst’s beautiful melody In the Bleak Mid-Winter, then finishes off the musical celebration with the dance and the carol mingling together.  A great addition to Christmas concert repertoire.  Also available for brass band.
