THE TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS

Description
Hoping for peace in the world is the force behind this arrangement. The use of two beautiful rounds, one from the western tradition and one from the mid-eastern tradition gives this piece the melodic interest that keeps middle school kids motivated. Dona Nobis Pacem weaves its three beautiful phrases through the band which is followed by a haunted and pleading alto saxophone solo to begin Shalom Chavarim. The piece concludes with a beautiful choral of the opening theme. It is playable by a second year band.
