Rhythmic Snapshots of Christmas (Brian Balmages) for String Orchestra

This contemporary and spirited arrangement is based on Hark! The Herald Angels Sing and Bring a Torch, Jeannette, Isabella. As the title suggests, the entire work thrives on rhythmic pulse. As the piece develops, pieces of the two carols are increasingly woven together, shifting seamlessly between the two at times. From the rhythmic opening to the sweeping lines that ensue, this is certain to be a memorable part of your Christmas program!
