Details

The Seasons, Op. 37 is a set of twelve short character pieces written on commission in 1875 for solo piano, based on a month of the year in Russia. The Christmas movement represents the month of December. (Wikipedia)

Each movement was first issued individually, in monthly issues of the journal Nuvellist during the year 1876. Here are the words poet Vasily Zhukovsky used to describe this music:

Once upon a Christmas night

the girls were telling fortunes:

taking their slippers off their feet

and throwing them out of the gate.

Justin Chiang's delightful arrangement of this work for advanced performers is about 4.5 minutes in length. The instrumentation is for 2 Trumpets in B-flat, Horn, Trombone and Tuba.
