Christmas Overture

(for Concert Band)

Written to herald the holiday season, this exciting work will add that special touch to your winter program. Composed with original melodies, “Christmas Overture” is a refreshing alternative to arrangements of traditional carols. From the playful “Stable Animals” to the lovely strains of “Mother Mary's Lullaby,” Kathleen Mayne's seasonal favorite has delighted audiences all over the world.

“Beautiful in its simplicity and gentility.  A warmly charming work.”
-- Miklós Rózsa, Academy Award-winning film composer
