Composed by Andrew Mackereth. Score. Duration 2:30. Published by C. Alan Publications (CN.TW01012).

One of the most popular Christmas songs to have been written in recent years, Joy Webb's "A Starry Night" was originally a huge success for The Salvation Army's 1960s pop phenomenon "The Joystrings." The breadth of the song's popularity continues to be a source of amazement to the writer herself, but the attractive simplicity and accessibility of the tune has made it one of the most widely used Christmas songs, particularly in schools and playgroups! Andrew Mackereth, who is the Bandmaster of the Salvation Army band at Nuneaton in Warwickshire and also conductor, composer and arranger for The Salvation Army Symphonic Wind Ensemble, has brought his considerable skills as an arranger and composer for both brand and concert band to this familiar Christmas song and produced an attractive dance-like Calypso-style setting that is already gaining huge popularity in its brass band form. This new arrangement for concert band is also sure to contribute to the ongoing popularity of this song, and will undoubtedly enhance any concert band's Christmas programme too.
