Christmas Fanfares

Jeremiah Clarke’s (1674–1707) “Trumpet Voluntary” was originally written for organ and trumpet and is frequently heard as a processional at wedding ceremonies. Franz Schubert’s (1797–1828) “Marche Militaire” was originally written as a piano duet but has been reset for various instrumental ensembles.

Climb the Mountains Tall
Inspired by “The Dream,” a poem by Darren Clayton, this work reflects the spirit of adventure necessary to journey to new places and new experiences. After a bold introduction, the flutes, oboe, and bells present a heroic melody with supporting roles provided by the baritone and snare drum. The full band then joins in and expands on the theme, energy building all the while. We journey briefly through a minor key and a slower, more contemplative section. With a transition back to the main theme, and a change of key, we boldly approach the exciting conclusion of our travels. (3:15)SKU: AL37789
