How it works
Christmas Selection
Some of our recordings are particularly relevant to the Christmas Holidays season some of them are highlighted here. The all time favourite is Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite where we applied one orchestration to the whole piece based on steel drums but augmented on this occasion with harp, vibes and a synthesized Angel vox. A less obvious choice would be Jupiter Bringer of Jollity from Holst’s Planet Suite with echoes of the ghost of Christmas present in Dickens’ Christmas Carol. But of course Christmas is a time for children and our Children’s selection has more choices: Beethoven Bagatelle No1 Debussy Serenade for a Doll Dvorak Humoresque No 7 Opus 101 Faure Dolly Suite - Berceuse (Listen with Mother theme for the UK baby boomer generation) Saint Saens Carnival of the Animals: FossilsChristmas Presents
These recordings are all free to download but if you and your family enjoy them it would be great if you would go to our Donation page and support the campaign, which Rotary International has been leading, to finally eliminate the crippling polio disease from the world.
