'Twas the Night Before Christmas

"'Twas the Night Before Christmas" was recorded by Burning River Brass for their CD of the same name.

"Twas the Night Before Christmas" is perhaps one of the most well-known verses in English literature.  Its original title is "A Visit from Saint Nicholas", it was written by either Clement Clarke Moore or Henry Livingston, Jr., and published in 1823.

This wonderful adaptation by composer Anthony DiLorenzo mixes familiar styles and tunes with original material.  Available for Brass Ensemble, Organ, and Narrator, or Brass Band, Narrator and optional Organ.  It's a perfect fit for any holiday concert, and may start a new, annual tradition for you ensemble!
