ABOUT CITY OF HOLROYD BRASS BAND City of Holroyd Brass Band is thrilled to be welcomed back with Packemin Productions for a third consecutive year to perform Festive Favourites at Riverside.

With a rich musical history, spanning more than 40 years, the band is an important part of the local community.

It encourages and fosters musical ability of all levels by providing entertainment at council and community events, fun family concerts at halls and parks, and concerts at Riverside Theatres.

This year has been successful for City of Holroyd Brass Band and has seen them perform at the East Coast Championships in Newcastle, the NSW State Band Championships in Penrith and most recently in the Music 43 Concert at Nepean Creative and Performing Arts High School, Emu Plains.

In 2017 the band will launch a training band. People who would like to learn a musical instrument are encouraged to talk to one of the band members or visit holroydbrass.com.au

City of Holroyd Brass Band would like to make special mention of Julie Fews for her work and dedication to make Festive Favourites what it is today.

They wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

We Wish You A Merry Christmas – Full Cast Arr Richard Sandham

THE FIRST NÖELThe first Noel the angels did say Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay In fields where they lay, keeping their sheep On a cold winter’s night that was so deep.

Nöel, Nöel, Nöel, Nöel Born is the King of Israel.

They looked up and saw a star Shining in the east beyond them far And to the earth it gave great light And so it continued both day and night.

Nöel, Nöel, Nöel, Nöel Born is the King of Israel.

This star drew nigh to the north-west O’er Bethlehem it took it’s rest, And there it did both stop and stay, Right over the place where Jesus lay.

Nöel, Nöel, Nöel, Nöel Born is the King of Israel.

Then let us all with one accord Sing praises to our heavenly Lord, That hath made heaven and earth of naught, And with his blood mankind has bought.

Nöel, Nöel, Nöel, Nöel Born is the King of Israel.

HARK! THE HERALD ANGELS SING Hark! The herald angels sing “Glory to the newborn King! Peace on earth and mercy mild God and sinners reconciled” Joyful, all ye nations rise Join the triumph of the skies With the angelic host proclaim: “Christ is born in Bethlehem” Hark! The herald angels sing “Glory to the newborn King!”

Christ by highest heav’n adored Christ the everlasting Lord! Late in time behold Him come Offspring of a Virgin’s womb Veiled in flesh the Godhead see Hail the incarnate Deity Pleased as man with man to dwell Jesus, our Emmanuel Hark! The herald angels sing “Glory to the newborn King!”

Hail the heav’n-born Prince of Peace! Hail the Son of Righteousness! Light and life to all He brings Ris’n with healing in His wings Mild He lays His glory by Born that man no more may die Born to raise the sons of earth Born to give them second birth Hark! The herald angels sing “Glory to the newborn King!”
