Winter Variations

As much as I like listening to my local, classical music station, I get tired of hearing nothing but string music.  It's a delight to listen to Wind & Rhythm, an hour-long, band-only program, every Sunday evening.

Last night, they played numerous Christmas and holiday songs.  I have heard most of them before, but the following two were presented in a different way.  The recordings I heard last night weren't on Youtube, but the examples below are similar enough.  I'm sure you'll recognize the songs, and I hope you'll enjoy the brass band renditions.
