New for the holidays from Charles Sayre

Right now you can start preparing for your holiday music programs by listening to a full performance of “A Traditional Christmas.” This is a 12.5 minute work featuring some of the best Christmas music of all times! Listen to the entire program.

Listen to the Overture which is a spin on:

"We Three Kings"

Hear vocal arrangements for soloists and full chorus of:

"Bring A Torch Jeanette Isabella"
"Patapan"
"O Come, O Come Emmanuel"
"Here We Come A-Wassailing"
"What Child Is This?"
"Carol Of The Bells"

The accompaniment you hear for these carols is a professional wind and percussion ensemble. However, this glorious medley is also available with chorus and orchestra, you can take your pick -- orchestra or wind ensemble.

"Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus"

This is available for orchestra, ...narrator and, of course, Virginia!

Let's not forget:

"'Twas the Night Before Christmas"

which has enchanted so many over the years, all wrapped up with a new Christmas bow. This is available for both orchestra and wind ensemble, including narration.
