Band Music for Evangelism
Edited by James Curnow
PrefaceChristmas is a joyous season of the Christian calendar and a time for bands to help proclaim the good news of Christ's birth.
As Christmas rolls around each year, leaders scramble to find new and imaginative settings for the traditional music for the season.
This issue of the American Band Journal will, no doubt, prove to be very useful. With the inclusion of a variety of forms, from a march Medley and a Euphonium solo, to a very practical traditional carol arrangement, the makings of a fine program are in your hands.
Enjoy this music and have a blessed Christmas.
