Come, Emmanuel is based on the traditional Christmas carol O Come, O Come Emmanuel. The piece begins with a beautiful introduction, where moving passages are passed throughout the band over lush harmonies. The main melody, introduced by the clarinets and euphoniums, is then followed by contrasting sections that feature both the woodwind and brass choirs. These sections incorporate unconventional harmonies, creating a rich and varied texture. The piece concludes with the full band on the chorus. With its varied instrumental features and teaching moments, this piece offers both musical depth and educational value.
