I play the clarinet part, and I love the solo we get at the beginning. I love how the melody suddenly changes. Story did a wonderful job arranging this piece. I played Anyway You Want It, also arranged by Michael Story, and was not disappointed by his skills. Merry Christmas to you all!

I'm playing this song for my Christmas concert in band. I'm in 7th grade right now and this is LITERALLY my FAVORITE song (other than Crazy Train last year) but I love how just beautiful this is and I'm so happy I keep all my music because I forever want to play this song!❤❤

My advanced band is playing this song this year! We play it for every Christmas concert and I really like it - from a flute :)

I'm playing this in my band class as well! I play clarinet, and the part with the 8th notes is really hard for a 7th grader.

My band is playing this for the holiday concert (I play flute but I play the oboe part) and I absolutely love this piece!
