A Hanukkah Festival, arranged by Chris M. Bernotas, is a vibrant medley of three beloved traditional Hanukkah songs: Sevivon, Maoz Tzur, and Hanukkah. This nearly five-minute piece is a spirited tribute to the Festival of Lights and a meaningful addition to any winter concert program.
The arrangement opens with Sevivon, featuring a dramatic melody and varied accompaniment that leads to a brief, but striking, clarinet cadenza (also cued in Violin 1). It transitions into Maoz Tzur, presented with rich, full voicings and a beautiful, lyrical theme. The finale, Hanukkah, brings the piece to a bright and festive close with a playful march and an energetic ending.
Packed with engaging melodies and educational value, A Hanukkah Festival is a joyful and respectful celebration of tradition that students will love to perform and audiences will love to hear. A future classic in holiday concert repertoire.
