A note from the composer; "I love the magic of Christmas. I find the whole experience exciting, from the handing out of presents to the movies shown on television. However, it is the music I love the most, from Christmas carols to Christmas number ones, it all adds to the unique atmosphere and sense of joviality associated with this wonderful time of year. A Christmas Finale captures my yuletide emotions and will hopefully provide enjoyment for you too! Merry Christmas."

A Christmas Finale was composed at the request of Nicholas Childs and Black Dyke Band and recorded by the same performers on CD24782 The Black Dyke Christmas Carol.
