Review:
Fun for everyone, three brilliant orchestral favorites that have long been associated with the Christmas season are featured in this crowd-pleasing arrangement. The piece focuses on Tchaikovsky's "Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy" and Mozart's "Sleigh Ride", but strains of Vivaldi's "Gloria" are also included. Various sixteenth notes, triplets, and dotted rhythms, as well as numerous accidentals, net this piece its challenging rating. The tempo is set at a lively quarter = 116. 86 measures in length, "A Classical Christmas" is set in a minor and F Major.
