Winterscape - Gavin Lendt, Concert Band, Grade 3.5 (Randall Standridge Music)

Holiday melodies and winter wonder combine in this dazzling work. Several Christmas melodies are used in whole and in part to create a work that will sound both familiar and new to your concert audience. Colorful orchestration, dance rhythms, and masterful harmony are used to great effect in a piece that is sure to become a favorite at your next winter or festival concert.

Finally a good piece that isn’t christmasy and is only wintery that’s actually hard, Mr. Lendt made a great job!

[@Music---Man]

This is literally a combination of many Christmas songs. The main one he uses is We Wish You a Merry Christmas and then he quotes multiple others. It is really well done though and I hope to have my band play this.

⁠​⁠@@Music---Man yeah but like what I meant was the entire piece wasn’t all just happy Christmas music, he uses a lot of references but some parts sound like plot twists
