A Christmas Interlude

On the off chance that someone, in addition to the tuba player, could use this, here is a version of this piece, arranged by John Edmondson, presented without any of the usual messy context.

Christmas at the Movies

This piece is a medley of three movie themes, arranged by John Moss. Moss is a composer for films, as well as a writer and arranger of band and orchestra music for publisher Hal Leonard. Not surprisingly, he has also worked as a public school music teacher.

Here is a speedy version of the piece, from a high school band.

And this is a slightly slower version, possibly from the publisher, by way of Japan.
