Peter Knudsvig: Kaitlyn's Jingles: Brass Ensemble

Kaitlyn?s Jingles is a set of four variations based upon the Christmas classic Jingle Bells. Each variation represents a different stage of the arranger?s wife?s pregnancy and subsequent birth of their daughter, Kaitlyn Chase in January 1999. Frequent visits to the doctor, seeing the baby for the first time, and finally the anxiety and joy of the birth, all are depicted in this delightfully different work, which will brighten up any Christmas concert.
