The Many Moods of Christmas: Suite No. 2

The extensive passages for orchestra alone in The Many Moods of Christmas suites represent some of Robert Russell Bennett's most brilliant and attractive writing based on familiar carols. This Mark Rogers Edition for wind bandalone is the initial offering in an ongoing series which will bring all four of these suites to the repertory of band conductors in the coming years. Included are Joy to the Worls, with optional antiphonal Salvation Army brassband, the Pastoral Symphony from Handels Messiah, Away in a Manger, concluding with a rousing medley of The March of the Three Kings and Fum, Fum, Fum!
