The Holly and the Ivy Old English Christmas Song, arr. Franco Cesarini. Concert Band

THE HOLLY AND THE IVY
Old English Christmas Song

DESCRIPTION

The Holly and the Ivy is one of the oldest and most popular of all English Christmas carols. The text refers to Mary and Jesus, but equally to the pre-Christian tradition of celebrating the winter solstice. The melody is thought to originate in 11th Century France. Countless stars, including Charlie Byrd, Petula Clark and Annie Lennox have been inspired to record their own interpretations - just as Franco Cesarini has done with this wonderful arrangement for wind orchestra.
