Additional info/contents	This fantasia is a re-interpretation of the classic Christmas carol Silent Night (Stille Nacht). All the basic elements of the music have been altered - elongation of the melody, changing the key to minor, re-harmonization of the chord progression, changing the meter to 6/8, a more polyphonic texture through canon and counterpoint, and a final reharmonized chorale. The result is music that is dreamy in character and attempts to extend the wonder and beautiful simplicity of the original carol. Completed in 2011 and commissioned by a consortium of 11 community bands. Something different for holiday concerts.
