This is a lesser-known Spanish Christmas piece dating from around 1550. It is rhythmic and colorful with melody in several voices. The opening is a call-and-response between the trombone and the remainder of the band. This has huge dynamic shifts and Renaissance percussion writing---something a little different on a holiday concert.
