As its Christmas everyone should have a selection box in their stocking. However, instead of 1970s chocolate bars such as Curly Wurly, Chrunchie, Fruit & Nut and Spangles we've got some great brass band CDs instead.

So if you want to gorge yourself on The Nationals 2021; Black Dyke Gold Vol IX; Bram Gregson & Friends; Enigma by Jen Oliverio and On Christmas Day it Happened by Music for Isolation then just answer the following question…

Question:

Make the link between the following to come up with the answer that equates to one of the days of Christmas in the famous carol?

The test-piece for the 1992 European Championships, linked to a famous work originally called 'Overture Characteristique' by Guillaume Balay and used at both the Nationals in the 1950s and British Open in the 1970s under a wrongly attributed anglicized non-de-plume, and four German language epic music dramas written by Richard Wagner?
