American Band Journal #47 (208-211)

Band Music for Evangelism
Edited by Brian Bowen

The Christmas season arrives each year with the good news that a Savior is born. What greater hope can exist for humanity than to know Jesus and celebrate His birth.

This issue of the American Band Journal offers a wide programmatic selection which will prove to be useful in many settings.

David Ayma put a new sheen on the ever-green Joy to the World; Bill Gordon gives a well-crafted spirited arrangement of Rise Up, Shepherd; Brian Bowen offers a thoughtful arrangement of the beautiful carol Greenwood Berries and we welcome Doroty Gates to the journal with her challenging horn solo Sleep, Little Jesus.

May God bless you during this season of celebration.
