Christmas! That wonderful time of year when you can hear brass players heralding this season of expectation, wonder and awe. With colorful lights and festive carols, we all come together and join in song.

Every carol was arranged specifically for this album, each combining the musical expertise of the performers with the craft and individual styles of the arrangers.

Many of these pieces are available from McGintyMusic.com. See Christmas Music – Quintets and Christmas Music – Octets for a complete list.

The album also features three arrangements by Ray Burkhart (Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day, Swingle Bells and The First Noel) and the as yet unpublished Fiat Lux by Anne McGinty. More information about Ray Burkhart can be found at http://tromba.us/
