Christmas Carol

Another little one-minute instrumental carol to add to the ones I've written previously.

I always find it very difficult to compose for these types of ensembles. This piece sounds quite solemn, but it also stirs up certain emotions. Thank you.

Thanks!  Yeah, I think I would have a hard time writing an extended piece for brass ensemble too.

Hi @Aiwendil!

Just like @Luis Hernández said this one is very joyful and solemn to listen to. 

I love how you augur the theme by trumpet first and then followed by other instruments. That Lydian sounding C natural in b.16 and 20 hints at a more antique English style and I like it. The imitation section follows is nicely done as well, and very nice reprise as well, with the Amen cadence at the end! Thx for sharing!

P.S. Thx for your comments on my youtube channel for my Violin Sonata!
