Arranged by Douglas E. Wagner, three well-known secular carol tunes are showcased in this big and brassy, bright and flashy seasonal extravaganza, especially suited as a concert opener.

Beginning with a cascade of chimes, soaring woodwind runs, and bold brass lines, Deck the Hall and Here We Come A-Caroling are presented with dynamic flair, interspersed with brief fanfare-like episodes. The mood transitions to a jaunting sleigh ride across the winter landscape, partnering the second time through with Jingle Bells, as the spirited celebration closes with a short coda, drawn from musical materials heard in the opening measures of the work. (2:55).
