Featured on the 2015 Pittsburgh Jazz Orchestra CD, “Joyful Jazz,” this arrangement of the well-known carol was written to feature trumpeter Sean Jones.  This arrangement has a “Praise Band” feel to it. The orchestration was originally written for a trumpet soloist in addition to the full big band instrumentation; however, the chart can be played with a soloist and trumpet parts 1-3.  Also, alternate solo parts have been provided to feature a soloist other than trumpet.
