Even though the familiar carol "Silent Night" has been arranged for band many times before, this unique setting by Rick Kirby deserves special attention. An oboe solo accompanied by piano sets the stage for an impressive rhapsodic approach that includes lush full ensemble passages with harmonic twists, solos for recorder and euphonium, and also band vocals at the end. Sure to become a holiday highlight. Dur: 4:15
