Said to have been written by S. S. Wesley while sat under a tree in a park in the town, this beautiful melody has been brought up to date by Kevin and was arranged for the Holsworthy Town Band to celebrate their Centenary. With its modern feel and lilt this is a great addition to your concert programme.
A very tongue in cheek arrangement of this carol. Beginning with solo Eb Bass it then ambles through various styles including Cartoon, Rock & Roll and Swing. This is great fun to play and goes down really well with audiences.
Written as the signature tune for Phillip Hunt’s BBC radio programme, with its energy and drive it is a perfect opener for your concert or entertainment contest programme.
Recorded by Black Dyke on the CD Essential Dyke Volume VI.
