Interesting little tidbit: My previous post was a Paul Manz improvisation on "Wachet auf". Robert Hobby, among many other credentials, has been coached in improvisation by Paul Manz.
I don't know if I can detect the influences of one on the other, but I do know what I like, and I really enjoy playing and listening to this version of Silent Night, with its contrapuntal flute melody, and sustained strings.
Merry Christmas!
ps - I turned up the Salisbury recording level a little bit for this one, it is quiet.
