Transcriptions for Wind Band/Concert Band
A Child’s Christmas is a short suite of connected movements, originally composed for orchestra, but now available for concert band with optional choral parts. The piece was transcribed for band by Paul Noble. Please click on the title for further information, including a recording and sample page of the score.
Festive Overture The Joy of Christmas is also an orchestral piece, originally commissioned by the CBSO and Chorus, and here skilfully transcribed for concert band by Paul Noble, by arrangement with Faber.
Both pieces are eminently suited for inclusion in Christmas concerts, and may be performed with or without a choral element.
STOP PRESS: The following Christmas settings, published by OUP, are now available also in versions for concert band (with or without choir!). For further details click on each title:
