This major work for wind orchestra incorporates the melodies of nine of the most popular and best-known Chanukah-related songs and hymns. Seven are secular and two are liturgical, and are creatively developed and adapted to take advantage of the various timbres and characteristics of the mature ensemble. The number nine here was intended by the composer to represent the nine candles or lights in the Chanukah m'nora (candelabrum) on the last night of the festival.
