|
The other day I fired up Finale for the first time in many years and transcribed a Xmas tune for brass quartet.
"We Wish You A Merry Xmas" in the style of a Bach Fugue, dubbed: "Bring Us A Fuguey Pudding"
Yeah, I know it's fu$%!ng April but in my defence, it's a very clever little arrangement. The arranger is Jonathan Mui:

I guess I should add that IMHO this isn't a "read on your Xmas gig" arrangement. Seems to me this arrangement/transcription would need some woodsheding and rehearsal for the group to pull it off.
