| Description |
This is an original medley of well-known and less well-known Christmas music. Tunes included are Angels we have Heard on High in 10/8, Silent night in 8/8, Good King Wenceslas with snare drum interruptions, a rather nippy God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen in canon, The Infant King with an incredibly long drone to represent the shepherd's bagpipe. This leads to the final rousing rendition of O Come All Ye Faithful in a jazzy, dance band style with a slightly tricky walking bass.
Great fun to play and listen to. |
