Christmas tune
Originally commissioned
for performance in
Christmas Serenade '95
with the San Antonio,
Texas symphony, this
piece is true to the
text's intent. After a
bright opening the music
slows to a more leisurely
pace where the bass
melody is accompanied by
triplet thirds in the
treble bells. Lots of
staccato is called for in
the final, bouncy section
which speeds up the last
five measures to end with
a flourish. This
rendition is scored in F
Major and is 78
measures.
