Program Notes
This symphonic treatment of Good King Wenceslas is ideal for your next winter concert. A powerful unison fanfare opening is quickly answered in full harmony, leading to a simple statement of the theme. All instruments get to play the melody, which is varied slightly throughout the piece to maintain interest.
