With “Christmas in the Wind Class II”, Andreas Simbeni presents the second volume in a series that expands the musical repertoire of young wind players for the festive season. Like its predecessor, this volume offers structured solo and orchestral parts that enable students of all abilities to learn and perform Christmas sounds both independently and in ensemble.

This methodically thought-out textbook emphasizes the importance of ensemble playing by ensuring that each instrumental group is given the opportunity to lead the melody at least once in the course of the arrangement. This pedagogical concept promotes the self-confidence and musical understanding of the pupils and enables balanced and inclusive music-making.

“Christmas in the Wind Class II” is therefore an excellent resource for music teachers and wind band conductors who want to convey the joy of making music together during the Christmas season. The students will not only benefit from the varied arrangements, but also from the opportunity to showcase their musical skills in a supportive and festive setting. Ideal for concerts and ensemble rehearsals, this volume provides atmospheric musical moments in the run-up to Christmas.
