This short 2:30min arrangement was written especially for the 2016 New Year - as I was trying out the "Acapella" app for iPhone and wanted t osend a New Year blessing to all my friends! I then revised it - and published this version.

You can see the video result below. I was aiming for a pleasingly "crunchy" setting of this famous work - with Copland-esque harmonies in places, and little celebratory fanfare motifs interspersed throughout!

There is a Contrabass part - which is great if you have one - but if not, a good strong Bass Flute will suffice! You will need to roll up some paper and stick it into the bass/contra for the Contrabass Part to get the low B FLATS!
