This is a classic Christmas carol that everyone loves! The song is written in three-parts. The song begins with a brass quartet featuring two trumpets, a french horn, and tuba. The song transitions into a cello solo with a piano accompaniment. A small string quartet takes over and eventually transitions into a french oboe solo with the same piano accompaniment.

O, Come All Ye Faithful

Another classic Christmas carol arranged in an upbeat, quick tempo, comical style. It begins with a simple staccato string motif that continues throughout the entire song. A french oboe and glockenspiel duet starts the song with strings and a brush kit in the background. An upright piano follows after the duet. The song ends with all instrument playing a similar pattern and ends with various percussion instruments such as the wood block and jingle bells.

Good King Wenceslas

We took this song and put it to a cinematic arrangement. The songs starts with the piano with a soft choir in the background. As the piano solo ends, it transitions into a duet with the piano and a cello. The arrangement of this classic can be considered to be melancholic.

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

Probably no other Christmas song is more solemn than Silent Night. This is a simple arrangement intended to preserve the solemnity of the song. An ethnic flute solo slowly and gracefully plays the first verse of the song. We then use a piano and cello duet to finish the hymn.

Silent Night

This popular song written in the Dorian mode is also known as Greensleves. This arrangement begins with an interesting piano solo. The solo crescendos when a cello, french oboe, bassoon, and strings follow. A celesta plays a short motif as the songs then picks up with a cello solo with all other instruments in the background. Various percussive and cinematic effects are placed in the arrangement to add a cinematic and distant feeling.

What Child Is This

We took this Christmas song and put it to a nice, soft ballad. It starts with a piano solo. Both drums and bass follow as the solo repeats. The melody is played on a muted trumpet for one verse. The second verse is transposed as the trumpet repeats the melody. At the end of the last verse there is a pause, and then ends with the drums and a nice motif played by the celesta as the song fades out.

The First Noel

This famous hymn is performed as a very simple, soft, piano piece.

Amazing Grace

A soft piano and strings along with a simple sleigh bell paints the picture of a cold walk at night in the snow with the crunching of snow upon every step.

Winter Walk

An interesting arrangement of this Christmas carol starts with a piano and drum beat.  The drums imitate a clock "tick-tocking" which represents the world waiting for the arrival of Christ on Christmas day.  The song then crescendos with strings and then ends with a cello and piano duet at the end.
