A Hanukkah Festival, arranged by Chris M. Bernotas, is a medley of three traditional Hanukkah songs, « Sevivon », « Maoz Tzur », and « Hanukkah ». « Sevivon » has a dramatic melody and is written with a variety of accompaniment leading to a brief, but impressive, clarinet cadenza (cued in violin 1) that leads into « Maoz Tzur. » This traditional piece is scored with full, rich voicings along with the beautiful melody. « Hanukkah » is the festival of lights and the last section of the piece. It is a bright playful march with an exciting conclusion. A Hanukkah Festival is filled with memorable tunes that students and audiences will enjoy while paying homage to this important holiday. Sure to become a staple in the literature.
