Originally entitled "Holiday Set for Chamber Orchestra," this atmospheric concert hall piece by American film composer Alex North strongly reflects the composer's cinematic approach to music. While best known as a film composer, North composed a large catalog of classical concert hall works from tone poems, cantatas, songs, chamber works, to even two symphonies. For a full list of the composer's catalog of compositions, go to the Alex North Music site:
