  "Hark, the Herald Angels Sing" is a light, happy, easy-swing chart that is playable by most any band.   This traditional tune in a zydeco feel and provides an entertaining journey from beginning to end. Focusing entirely on the ensemble, there is no improvisation in this piece.

Due to Covid-19 The Bob Curnow Big Band was not able to record this piece live. What you will hear is a Finale midi playback. We ask your understanding and look forward to being able to provide a recording of the great Curnow Big Band in the near future
