Joy To The World

Classical orchestra, brass choir and jazz influenced piano improvisation underpinned by driving hi-hat and string bass rythm
Masters In The Hall

Powerful and driving classical rock
It Came Upon A Midnight Clear Haunting new age style arrangement propelled by bass melody and intricate rythm patterns
O Holy Night

Contemporary piano and orchestral arrangement
Pat-A-Pan Mysterious, Middle-Eastern
O Come Little Children

RA MPEG

Simple, childlike and joyous - olde english troubador style meets appalachian mountains
The Beat Of A Different Drummer Boy

RA MPEG

Fun filled, infectious, polyrythmic New Orleans jazz/rock
Silent Night Mellow jazz tinged string and synth arrangement ending with a plaintive piano solo
Good King Wenceslas String orchestra, piano, pipe organ and woodwinds building to a big contemporary jazz/rock ending
While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks/The First Noel Gentle orchestra and brass choir give way to hard driving keyboard dominated rock. Builds to a feverish explosion of many interwined Christmas themes culminating in a huge finale
The First Noel (Reprise) Quiet orchestral reprise building to a climactic Christmas cacophony of free worship, ending with a massive chord that seems to extend into infinity
