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.
