Of Hanukkah was
arranged at the request of a family friend and former private
student and in cooperation with the Corona del Sol High School
Percussion Ensemble program. The intent was to create an
exciting percussion ensemble work which incorporated the games,
music, and spirit of the Hanukkah celebration. Gradually
weaving between four pieces - S'vivon, O Hanukkah, Maoz Tzur,
and Mi Y'malel - this arrangement features several high-energy
moments as well as a beautiful chorale and a brief playful
canon. Scored for ten players, this piece would be an
excellent addition for any high school or college percussion
ensemble holiday performance.
