Mannheim Steamroller

From the Mannheim Steamroller CD Christmas Extraordinaire here is a captivating setting of this traditional Scottish favorite. The varied orchestration includes a beautifully elongated melody a flugelhorn solo and an ending with optional audience sing-along.

Adapted from the Mannheim Steamroller CD A Fresh Aire Christmas this is actually two publications in one! First is a glorious fanfare in the High Renaissance tradition of antiphonal brass choirs echoing one another. Nextis a contemporary ?Mannheim? treatment of the familiar carol complete with a rock groove combining rhythmic and harmonic surprises. Performed individually or as a set this is a terrific and unique addition to theholiday repertoire for concert bands.

Grade 3-4 From the Mannheim Steamroller CD Christmas Extraordinaire here is a unique and appealing treatment of this holiday classic. A terrific change of pace from the usual holiday fare.

This simple plaintive carol is yet another memorable moment from Mannheim Steamroller's Fresh Aire Christmas and continues to be heard each holiday season. Robert's arrangement makes it approachable by most any string ensembleand includes short solo moments to feature a young violin soloist.

Grade 3-4 This interesting and unique version by Mannheim Steamroller adapted from Tchaikovsky's Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies is funky yet tastefully sophisticated (as only Mannheim Steamroller can do!). Classical charm with a contemporary attitude!
