A Winter's Tale by Tim Rice Brass Band - Digital Sheet Music

"A Winter’s Tale" was written by Mike Batt and Tim Rice in the space of about a month, in late 1982. It had been requested by David Essex who was looking for a Christmas hit. It spent 10 weeks in the UK charts, peaking at number 2. David Essex later included the track on his album "The Whisper".I arranged this piece because it was one of my mum's favourite Christmas tunes and I wanted to acknowledge the support so many brass players get from their families.This arrangement is a flugelhorn solo, first performed by Liz Oxley of Horbury Victoria Band. The ensemble parts should hold back until the tutti chorus in the coda, which features a rock drum rhythm and a euphonium counter-melody.The solo can be taken by principal cornet if desired.Alternate clef trombone parts are provided, plus a tutti flugelhorn part for use when played as a cornet solo.
