Christmas Fantasia

Christmas Fantasia was commissioned by Seika Girls High School Band and its director, Mr. Yoshihisa Fujishige, for its annual concert, premiering in December of 2009. The composer followed the band's request to employ a melody similar to Holst's Jupiter as well as Christmas songs. This pops composition is a rarity among the many works of Yagisawa.
