Description
A spellbinding setting, calling for 4 flutes, soprano, flügel, and windchimes. The slow tempo statement of the theme is lush and lovely. A double-time straight 8th's jazz restatement follows, leading to some soprano sax jazz and a more exciting version of the theme by the full band before a return to the slow tempo to wrap things up. If you have 4 flute doublers, this is a great chart to show them off. Really nice for Christmas.
