Since I bought my first Canadian Brass Christmas CASSETTE tape as a kid, I have always wanted to record a brass quintet album, but THIS Christmas album...well, its story really starts back in 2017.
I wanted to make the premiere performance of A Canadian Christmas a special event, so I asked the McMichael Canadian Art Collection if they could host a concert. I told them I would find a way to pay all of the musicians if they would provide us with a piano and basic sound system for a singer. They confirmed the concert date in autumn 2017, so I got to work on writing the arrangements for the ensembles that would be performing. I knew drums and bass weren't an option because we'd be performing in a very re
Of course this meant writing a lot of completely new arrangements for various combinations of solo voice, trumpet, piano and woodwind quintet. Did I mention that their french horn player had a scheduling conflict because of a prior commitment, so I was going to cover the french horn parts?
