concert Christmas look on a new sound Sunday night at tho Acton Citizens Band and Acton High School Band concert The two bands entertained about people with a number of rarely heard varia tions of some traditional and not so traditional Christmas music As they always do the Citizens Band started off with a march the Royal Air Force March Past which is march of both the and RCA It was written In 1917 and is familiar tune to those whoenjoy military music Getting into the Christmas music tho band of Cantiquo do Noel for its second selection With a solemn flavor and clarinets beautifully highlighted the name familiar to the but the tune certainly was de Noel Is better known nnd better loved as Ho ly Night Late In the last century and early in the when townspeople would flock to the park to hear a concert they be treated to a band overture This number would be full of different music a solemn beginning a waltz marches solos a little bit of everything and so was the Cltircns Bands third piece Sun Prairie Overture It fit in well with the early concert theme of old time music The Citizens Band is a mixture of young peo ple and adults in their 30s and 50s so It was appropriate that when it came to pops the band played some oldies but goodies like Heartaches Piano Blues and Sugar Blues as well as Barry New York City Rhythm Chuck Wright and Brent starred In solos Carol of the Drum is fairly recent piece of Christmas music from the late or early 60s but it has become immensely popular This too was a familiar tune but better known by he name Little Drummer Boy Nun Danket another band selection recognizable to audience by its German name but a loved Christian hymn suitable for any season on tho calendar The Now Thank We God arrangement featured trumpets and the snare drum The eighth offering was Spintal Rhapsody featuring Andreas on the piano It was type of music not often heard since there are few numbers which combine bands and a piano The band completed their solo portion of the program by performing a well known Christmas song We Wish You a Merry Christmas but with a twist Tho tunc was set to a fugue as a classical composer would have written it The high school band continued the evening format of Christmas music with a different flavor in this solo performance First they offered the Devonshire Overture feat ring fast and slow sections solos marches and more It was a typical old English overture Deck the Halls and All That Jazz was another Id Yule favorite with an interesting arrangement which made it less than familiar For one thing half the band played at two beats a bar and rest of fortheconductor DaveSale The final band offering was Christmas Pops Medley comprising four familiar tunes which were arranged by John while he soaked up the sun one holiday season In Ihc Bahamas Rocking Around the Christmas Tree Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer Winter Wonderland and Jingle Bells was certainly dif ferent with a calypso flavor With both the Citizens and bands after intermission they played the only true Canadian Christmas Carol Twas in the Moon of Wintertime Written in the by a Jesuit Mis slonary It was way or explaining the Christmas story to the Indians and is a truly beautiful carol While parts of tune were familiar the nth piece or the evening Elizabethan Carol t a holiday season hymn which is performed all that often and the bands played It expertly The evening concluded with the bands playing seven old standards in the way everyone has heard them The audience Joined in to sing Hark The Herald AngeL Sing Come AHYeraith
