Mannheim Steamroller

Grade 3-4 From the latest holiday offering by Mannheim Steamroller here is a high-powered rock version of the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's Messiah.

Similar in style and approach to Mannheim Steamroller's popular version of Stille Nacht here is a sensitive and effective setting of this well-known carol. This marvelous arrangement builds from a delicate opening with theclarinets accompanying a flugelhorn solo (opt. trumpet) to a powerful-sounding full band section then returns to a quiet ending.

Piano solo arrangements of a dozen songs from the 2003 release by these leaders of new age electronic music: Amber · Bittersweet · Chakra IV · Kanbai · Moonlight at Cove Castle · Nepenthe · Serenity · The 7 Stars of the Big Dipper · The Sign of Love · Slo Dancin' in the Living Room · Sunday Morning Breeze · Teardrops Raindrops.

From Mannheim Steamroller's ever-popular Fresh Aire album this is a wonderful change of mood with its gently flowing lines and peaceful atmosphere. Robert Longfield has skillfully adapted Chip Davis' simple melody into anapproachable version that works ideally for string ensembles.

The lead-off tune from the new Mannheim Steamroller CD Christmas Celebration is the perfect opener for any winter or holiday concert.
