“Merry Christmas, y'all!” - Gigi Sherrell Norwood, Dallas Wind Symphony
DALLAS WIND SYMPHONY
JERRY JUNKIN
MARY PRESTON organ
Horns For The Holidays showcases an exciting 12-track lineup including brilliant original arrangements of festive favorites with many first recordings. This sonic spectacular also features the huge Fisk pipe organ at the Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas, and is faithfully captured by Reference Recordings' world-renowned team of engineer Keith Johnson and producer Tam Henderson. A treat for wind band enthusiasts, audiophiles, and all who love great holiday music!
Americans revel in the Currier and Ives images of Christmas: the sleigh rides, the snowmen, and all the joy that comes with twinkling lights, cold weather, warm fires, hot cocoa, and sharing a feast with your loving family.
Christmas isn't like that in Texas.
The temperature there often hits 60 degrees on December 25, making it warm enough to play football on the front lawn before you tuck into that turkey dinner. Santa can arrive on a motorcycle.
