Band

'Feliz Navidad' (Jose Feliciano), 'Brazilian Sleighbells' (Percy Faith), and the always popular 'Silver Bells' are cleverly combined in a calypso/Latin style that gives this medley a great new twist for a holiday concert. And of course, it has plenty of percussion effects to feature.

The Cambrian period of our planet's geological history (roughly 500 million years ago) saw an explosion of plant and animal diversity evolving into many of the complex life forms familiar today. Richard Saucedo gives us an explosion of musical forms and surprises in this fast-paced and powerful work for mature bands. A recurring mallet and timpani pattern provides unity amidst a diverse musical palette that ranges from jazzy to celebratory. The sudden appearance of the familiar hymn For the Beauty of the Earth is both stunning and dramatic as it ties the entire work together. Wonderfully creative! Dur: 3:10

Inspired by the popular recording, A Canadian Brass Christmas, this medley features Ding Dong! Merrily On High, I Saw Three Ships, The Huron Carol, and Here We Come A-Wassailing. Adapted by the talented Canadian Brass arranger Howard Cable.

Perhaps the most poignant event of last year is remembered in this special Elton John song. As always, this Bocook version is well designed for band, capturing the emotion and essence of this simple pop ballad.
