Beschreibung:
Christmas Fanfare is based on the traditional English Christmas tune 'The Sussex Carol', also known as 'On Christmas Night All Christians Sing'. A short piece of about 2 minutes in the style of a fanfare, the tune moves betwen the various sections of the band, sometimes appearing in canon. At bar 46 the melody of Beethoven's 'Ode to Joy' is used as a descant in the woodwind while the brass play the traditional tune. Christmas Fanfare was first performed in Naas, Co. Kildare, Ireland on December 20th 2007 by the Army Number One Band with the composer conducting.
