Mannheim Steamroller: Fresh Aire Christmas

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 Based on the unique and striking arrangements by Chip Davis and recorded by Mannheim Steamroller here is an outstanding holiday medley that includes Deck the Hall; God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen; Good King Wenceslas; Lo How a Rose E'er Blooming and Stille Nacht.
