Holiday. Composed by Elliot Del Borgo. Orchestra Music. Score and parts. Duration 6:00. Published by C. Alan Publications (CN.14470).

The main melodic material is from a 1591 English tune in a Coventry play better kown as "Coventry Carol." The warmth and expressiveness of the cantabile opening section is Romantic in nature and is written to produce a lush sound from the string orchestra. The quick section that follows is very rhythmic and requires a solid bowing style. This is a serious and effective work that can be a strong closing selection.

The quick section that follows is very rhythmic and requires a solid bowing style in a linear texture that gives all parts lead material during the piece.
