Concert Band

A Christmas March

Grade 2 | 4 Mins

 

A Christmas March was written to provide the young band something up-beat with which to open or close a Christmas or Holiday concert.

The main theme of the march is original, but many short references to well-known Christmas tunes appear in obvious and not-so-obvious places. These include Adeste Fidelis, Deck the Halls, Good King Wenceslas and Jingle Bells. God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen forms the march’s trio section.
