Double christmas

This brand new holiday pops work offers an entertaining and unique option for symphonic holiday programming. Written for orchestra and vocalist, Double Christmas is an amusing remedy for the proverbial holiday blues. The solution is to double the holiday!  

“When the sun goes down and the day is done, we’ll have another one!”

Yep, twice as much Christmas. The explanation is delivered by an affable singer who hosts the number, eventually leading the audience in a poignant sing-along moment.   

Double Christmas was commissioned and premiered this past November by the Brevard Symphony Orchestra in celebration of their 70th anniversary. Music director Christopher Confessore led the orchestra, and Maclane Schirard provided the vocal. 

Instrumentation:  2(picc),2,2,2 - 4,3,3,1 - Timp+3, Harp, Piano, Strings, Mid-range Male Voice (sense of humor preferable)

Timing: 6:40
