Beautiful instrumental orchestrations of 18 Christmas hymns for group singing or individual listening pleasure.
Bio / Background
This album would provide a beautiful backdrop for any seasonal event. The music is well-crafted. The arrangements are creative, but remain true to the heart and soul of these familiar holiday favorites. Favorite moments include the precious bell choir on "O Little Town of Bethlehem," the exotic flutes on "We Three Kings of Orient Are," the alien intro on "While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks," the sweet but simple "Gentle Mary Laid Her Child" (the same tune as "Good King Wenceslas"), and the glorious trumpet fanfare on "Joy to the World."
Classic Christmas is exactly that--holiday music that is absolutely classic for the season. Charlie Marks likes a challenge, and this fine album is the winning result.

I have been a fan of Mannheimer Christmas music for years. Well, this cd by Charlie Marks is absolutely wonderful. His unique arrangements of traditional Christian hymns is a splendid contribution.
