    Selected Program Notes Quincy Symphony Orchestra, Chorus, and Youth Chorus December 6, 2014 It’s Christmastime ............................................................................................. Arr. Calvin Custer (1939-1998) This arrangement features nostalgic music including Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town (1934), Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas (1944), Silver Bells (1950), and I’ll Be Home For Christmas (1948) which harks back to a time, still recent then, when many servicemen were not at home for Christmas. ~ Dr. Lavern Wagner Festive Sounds of HANUKAH ..................................................................... arr. by Bill Holcombe (1924-2010) Bill Holcombe was best known as a composer and arranger. But he also played saxophone and woodwinds while arranging for the Tommy Dorsey Band, and with Fred Waring and the Pennsylvanians. Additionally, he scored music for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer movies and The 101 Strings. In this 1985 arrangement, he navigates the audience through the enjoyable melodies of Rock of Ages, Mi Y’ Malel (Who Can Retell,) Hanukah – Hanukah, My Dreidel, S’Vivon (Spin Dreidel), and Hanukah – O Hanukah. ~ Dale Gedcke An Olde English Christmas....................................................................................................... Arr. Mark Hayes Gloria! To God Sing Gloria!Arr. Lloyd Larson & Brant Adams Carols were ancient circle dance songs that allowed traditional music to exist alongside sanctioned liturgical chant as Europe accepted Christianity. Composers Mark Hayes and Lloyd Larson have Baylor University credentials. The 5 carols in Olde English Christmas have ancient roots. Popular 15th century God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen figures in Dickens’ Christmas Carol as Scrooge humbugs all well-wishers away.
