Sweet Songs of Christmas CD
You probably won't want to use this review.
However, fabulous an inspiring playing by the Brass! I especially love the arrangements and original compositions of Christopher Dedrick.
I am disappointed that I have to pay USD rather than Canadian prices to order "Canadian" Brass recordings! It seems so odd. -
The sweetest sounds for Holiday time!
It is nearly impossible to pass the holiday season without experiencing the Canadian Brass – their holiday albums have reached the same sales levels as those of Bing Crosby, Luciano Pavarotti and Nat King Cole. Here is an album that continues that tradition of great holiday fare from the Canadian Brass that incldues sacred works and yuletide favorites. Sweet Songs of Christmas features 21 tracks of lighthearted arrangements of all-time Christmas favorites including Carol of the Bells, Sussex Carol, Ding, Dong, Merrily on High and more.
A great addition to any Christmas collection and an album that the entire family will enjoy.
