"Symphonie" in the 18th century sense - meditations and variations on three traditional regional French Christmas carols, beautifully scored and immensely attractive. The third carol is performable separately, see Variations Joycuses. 11-12 minutes
What a clever idea! We musically visit the highlights of the holiday season beginning with Thanksgiving (We Gather Together), moving on to the Christmas season (Deck the Halls), Christmas Eve (Silent Night), Christmas Day (We Wish You a Merry Christmas), and finally closing with New Year’s Eve (Auld Lang Syne). Charming! (3:55)
