The original work (#1198) is a stirring concert fanfare for any big point in a concert or event. 

These shorter versions are useful for occasions where short, true fanfares are desired.

Rejoice! was performed in the Dallas Symphony Orchestra’s Big Brassy Extravaganza in 2014. Shorter versions were used in advance to promote that concert. A recording of that performance was used to promote the 2014 Dallas Symphony Brassy Christmas concert.

Rejoice! is not a Christmas work, but since it works for almost any ‘big’ occasion, it certainly works well at Christmas. If shorter versions are desired, use the related specially prepared shorter versions (#1199).

Four Bb Trumpets (4th Trumpet doubles on Piccolo Trumpet), 4 Horns in F (can be doubled to good effect), 2 Trombones, Bass Trombone, and Tuba. 

Includes optional Organ part and optional Percussion: 2 Timpani, Glockenspiel, Suspended Cymbal, Snare Drum, Bass Drum, and Piatti.
